Lucknow Super Giants defeated KKR by 4 runs in a thrilling match played on 8 April. In this match, many decisions of Lucknow Super Giants team captain Rishabh Pant proved useful for the team. Pant took a decision in the match that he did not come to bat, which left the spectators who came to watch the match at Eden Gardens stunned. Pant did not bat in the 20 overs of the game.
Instead, he sent players like Abdul Samad and David Miller to bat after Nicholas Pooran and Mitchell Marsh were out. Lucknow's team had a stormy start.
Aiden Markram and Mitchell Marsh made a partnership of 99 runs for the first wicket. After this, Pooran and Marsh scored 71 runs in 30 balls. Everyone expected that Pant would come to bat at number 4, but everyone was surprised to see Abdul Samad at the crease. After the match, Pant told why he did not come to bat.
Why did Rishabh Pant not bat in the match played against KKR?
Lucknow Super Giants captain Rishabh Pant has been on everyone's target since the beginning of IPL 2025. Lucknow bought him in the auction for Rs 27.75 crore and after getting such a big price, Pant was not able to prove himself. This season has been very bad for Pant so far. When he did not come out to bat in the match against KKR, the fans trolled him a lot.
The LSG team had crossed the 220-run mark after Samad was out in the 19th over. Pant still decided not to bat and sent David Miller to finish the match in the last over of the innings. Pant explained the reason behind this after the match and said,
Let us tell you that Pant is going through poor form in batting for his new franchise Lucknow Super Giants. Pant, the most expensive player in the history of the league, has so far scored only 19 runs in five matches. His scores in five matches have been 0, 15, 2, and 2. Now Pant's decision of not coming out to bat against KKR was not liked by some fans, who questioned his decision. However, Pant's strategic decision benefited his team.
