Is Rishabh Pant Overrated? Twitter Reacts to His Latest IPL Failure

Rishabh Pant's Struggles Continue as LSG Captain Falls for Just 2 Runs vs PBKS.

Rishabh Pant's poor form in IPL 2025 as a captain of Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) continued on Tuesday against Punjab Kings (PBKS), scoring just 2 runs in 13 matches in Lucknow. Following an anticipated return to IPL, Pant has found it difficult to find any rhythm so far, leaving Twitter fans puzzled as a spectator.An Awful Start to IPL 2025.Pant's return to competitive cricket was expected to spark the LSG; however, he has been poor in that regard, and his poor performances thus far speak to that truth. In a hard-hitting Punjab bowling attack, the left-hand batter was disappointing once more leading to just 2 runs before being dismissed. This awful start induces speculation on whether he was out of form or did he have leadership to take them along.

❗️ Rishabh Pant Is Of No Use In T20 Cricket ❗️

He Is A Burden For Any Team.

LSG Should Remove Him From Captaincy ASAP.

Rishabh Pant needs to adapt his game in T20 cricket. His current approach lacks shape and consistency. He should take notes from Nicholas Pooran, who balances power and control perfectly. Test-style attacking cricket won’t work in T20s.#IPL2025 #RishabhPant #LSGvsPBKS pic.twitter.com/HVpXSHsE7r

These are serious opportunities lost for Rishabh. That ball could be hit anywhere. He hit it straight to the short fine leg fielder.

Still think he should open. @RevSportzGlobal #RishabhPant

Social media Clitters reacted quickly to Pant's awful run of form. Examples of the paw always came from Crickets-a-lot; he labelled Pant "overrated" in T20 cricket and commented on shot selection and reason for confusion and in leadership. All eyes are on Pant for the rest of the tournament.
