He Doesn’t Deserve Even Rs 27
Fans Launch Scathing Attack on Rishabh Pant After His Duck in LSG vs RR Match
The Indian Premier League (IPL) 2026 is shaping up to be a thrilling affair, with several teams vying for the top spot. However, one cricketer’s performance has left fans and pundits alike questioning his massive price tag. We’re talking about none other than Delhi skipper Rishabh Pant, who was dismissed for a meager duck in his side’s 72-run win over Rajasthan Royals (RR) at the DY Patil Stadium.
Rishabh Pant has been a subject of much debate during this IPL season. The left-handed batter has struggled to make an impact, getting dismissed cheaply in multiple matches. And yesterday’s LSG vs RR encounter was no exception. The 25-year-old walked in at No. 3, but his stay at the crease was short-lived. He faced just two deliveries before being sent back to the pavilion, leaving his side reeling at 27-2.
The crowd was shocked, to say the least. They couldn’t believe that Pant, who is touted as the next big thing in Indian cricket, had faltered yet again. And it’s not just the fans; even experts are starting to question whether Pant’s INR 27 crore price tag is justified.
The question on everyone’s mind is: does Pant’s current form warrant such a hefty price tag? The answer, quite obviously, is no. His performance has been below par, and that’s putting it mildly.
Pant’s Poor Form Raises Questions About His Value
Rishabh Pant has scored just 124 runs in 7 innings at an average of 17.71. He’s got more ducks (4) than boundaries (3) so far, which is a staggering statistic. It’s high time the fans and the selectors re-evaluate his value to the team. Fans took to social media to express their disappointment and frustration with Pant’s performance.
