Rishabh Pant has hit out at the reports suggesting his release from the Lucknow Super Giants following a disastrous IPL 2025 campaign. LSG paid an auction record Rs 27 crore to their skipper, but were knocked out of the IPL 2025 playoffs race. Pant himself has managed just 135 runs in 12 innings, with reports suggesting he would be released ahead of next season.
Rishabh Pant responds to “fake” claims on LSG future, engages in war of words
The IPL rumour mill has been rife with talk of Rishabh Pant’s horrid IPL 2025 season. Given the nature of Sanjiv Goenka’s involvement in team matters, Pant’s future with the franchise is in doubt. The hefty paycheck does not help matters.
The 27-year-old hit out at those reports, labelling them as fake. Rishabh Pant urged the media to be ‘sensible’ and ‘credible’ and not peddle news with any agenda.
“I understand fake News gives more traction To content but let’s not built everything around it . Little sense and credible news will help more rather making fake news with agenda. Thanks have a good day . Let’s be responsible and sensible what we put out on social media,” Rishabh Pant wrote on X.

Rishabh Pant’s disastrous IPL 2025 season
Lucknow Super Giants were knocked out of IPL playoffs contention with 2 games left in their league campaign. LSG hopes Rishabh Pant could lead the franchise to glory after a middling campaign under KL Rahul in 2024. However, Sanjiv Goenka’s IPL auction strategy fell flat. Rishabh’s own form dovetailed, while he failed to inspire his teammates to success.
