Rishabh Pant has been appointed as the captain of Lucknow Super Giants for IPL 2025 after being signed for Rs 27 crore in the mega auction. The wicketkeeper-batter will aim to lead LSG to their maiden title with his leadership and explosive batting.
Virat Kohli is set to return to domestic cricket after 12 years, with DDCA likely to include him in Delhi's squad for the Ranji Trophy match against Saurashtra on January 23. However, his participation remains uncertain due to a neck sprain that required an injection.

Ravichandran Ashwin hailed Rishabh Pant as a rare talent in Indian cricket, praising his underrated defensive technique as one of the best in the world. Highlighting Pant's contrasting knocks in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy, Ashwin emphasized the importance of finding a balance between aggression and defence. He believes Pant has immense potential yet to be fully realized.
Finally, the popular Rishabh Pant show came, and that too at the most important time. The Indian wicketkeeper-batter’s fiery batting put the visitors in a good challenging position in the Sydney Test.
While the Indian top-order batters once again failed to set up the Indian innings in the first innings of the Sydney Test, the wicketkeeper-batter Rishabh Pant is playing an important role in setting the innings along with Ravindra Jadeja.
India captain Rohit Sharma has urged Rishabh Pant to strike a balance between his aggressive style and game awareness. While acknowledging Pant's past success, Rohit emphasized the need for the wicketkeeper-batter to adapt his approach based on match situations.
Once again Travis Head became India’s key problem, but this time with the ball in hand. After dismissing the set batter Rishabh Pant, Head had a shocking celebration.
