Indian wicketkeeper batter Rishabh Pant was the talk of the IPL Mega Auction 2025 as Lucknow Supergiants secured him for the whopping amount of 27 Crore, making him the most expensive buy in the IPL auction history.
Goenka shared that they had plans to buy Rishabh Pant
"We had structured the auction in a certain way and Pant was an integral part of our plans. We had done some budgeting for him. Look we could not get Bhuvneshwar Kumar and we went for Akash Deep. We wanted two Indian fast bowlers and we spent INR 9.75 crore on Avesh and INR 8 crore on Akash Deep. This was not about one individual player. Did we want to have the most expensive player? No. At the end of the day, this does not mean very much to the franchise. Eventually, it is about performance and how the team balance looks."
