Rishabh Pant mocked by fans (Source:@TukTuk_Academy/X.com)
Rishabh Pant is the most expensive player in the history of IPL, as LSG paid 27 Crore to buy the star Indian wicketkeeper. He scored fifty against CSK, but that knock was way below the strike-rate that is expected from him, and now against RR, he failed again, scoring just 3 off 9 balls.
This failure has triggered massive trolling on social media, and people are calling out LSG owner, Sajiv Goenka for making a huge blunder. Some fans are telling Pant to have some shame and return monet to Goenka while some are just mocking his slow batting.
In eight matches of IPL 2025, Rishabh Pant has just 106 runs with an average of 15.14 and strike-rate of 98.14. His team is doing decently, but Pant is surely feeling the heat with no impact whatsoever with the bat in the first half of the season.
Here Are Some Of The Reactions From Social Media Users
"3(9) for Rishabh Pant, failed in each and every 7 games for LSG!!!!!!!! If Rishabh Pant has any shame left then he should return all 27 crores to Goenka the way Gambhir did to DC, this is so so shameful. He is not captain of LSG, he is NPA of LSG!!"
"Rishabh Pant, you fraud why you play T20 cricket? When you will justify your price tag ? Sanjiv Goenka is the biggest clown that's why he has given a test palyer 27 cr."

"Brick by brick, Match by match, Unreal consistency from Rishabh Pant this season, today he gone for 3(9)🔥"
LSG lost their last game against CSK, and are in a spot of bother in the game against RR now. Thus, it would be interesting to see how things pan out in the rest of the game.
