Amid rumours of a possible release, franchise owner Sanjiv Goenka finally addressed the chatter and clarified the team’s stance. Rishabh Pant had a disappointing season in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025. The left-handed batsman was acquired by the Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) for a staggering Rs 27 crore during the IPL 2025 mega auction. After LSG released their captain KL Rahul prior to the bidding, they aggressively pursued Pant and secured him for an impressive sum. The LSG owner commended Pant's dedication to the team.
