Delhi: Rishabh Pant’s performance in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025 has been constantly disappointing. On Monday, May 19, he was dismissed for just 7 runs in the match against Sunrisers Hyderabad at Ekana Stadium in Lucknow. He was sent to the pavilion by SRH bowler Ishaan Malinga. Pant came to bat at number 3 this time, but he could not take advantage of this opportunity.

Aaron Finch advised

Former Australian cricketer and commentator Aaron Finch believes that Rishabh Pant is completely seen out of the rhythm at this time. Talking on Star Sports, Finch said, “I would not call it a strategic mistake, because at that time a left arm spinner was bowling, and it was right to be a left -handed batsman. But in Pant’s game, he doesn’t seem to look like Ravani and Saarna. It seems as if he did not see the ball as much as he did not see as before.”

“Trying to prove yourself more efforts”

Finch further said, “When you are under pressure, you hold the bat more tightly, try to prove yourself that you can still hit big shots. But while doing so you go away from your real game. In such a situation, it is important that you return to the basic things and trust your natural game.”

Till now very poor performance in the season

In this season of IPL 2025, Pant has scored only 135 runs in 11 innings so far. Their average has been 12.27 and the strike rate is just around 100. Only once he has been able to score a half -century. This demonstration is not at all conforming to the price on which they were purchased in mega auction for Rs 27 crore.

Pant’s failure

However, despite Pant’s failure, Lucknow Supergiants (LSG) scored a big score of 205/7 in 20 overs in this match. Mitchell Marsh (65 runs, 39 balls) and Aidon Markram (61 runs, 38 balls) gave the team a great start, which strengthened LSG, but even after this performance of the team, the Lucknow team could not win the match and with the defeat, he was out of IPL 2025.
