For the 2025 Indian Premier League (IPL) season, wicketkeeper Rishabh Pant of the Indian cricket team has been named captain of the Lucknow Super Giants (LSG). Pant, who has captained the Delhi Capitals in the past, was purchased by LSG for an unprecedented Rs 27 crore. Pant served as DC’s captain in 2021, 2022, and 2024 before deciding to leave the team before the upcoming season. After a bidding war between LSG and DC, Pant became the most expensive player to ever be auctioned at an IPL auction. With a record bid, LSG sealed the purchase while DC exercised their Right To Match (RTM).
