Having started the season as an opener for Lucknow Super Giants, captain Rishabh Pant has dropped down to No. 3 for the last six matches in IPL 2026. After scoring a match-winning unbeaten 68 against Sunrisers Hyderabad in the team’s second outing of the season, the 28-year-old has managed only 72 runs in his next five innings, including a three-ball duck against Rajasthan Royals in Lucknow on Wednesday.
Coming in after the fall of opener Ayush Badoni off the last ball of the first over, Pant first tried to hit Andre Burger by coming down the track on two consecutive deliveries before attempting a slog sweep, only to be caught by wicketkeeper Dhruv Jurel. It was Pant’s third score below ten runs this IPL. Head coach Justin Langer spoke about how Pant wants to play freely and is feeling the pinch like every other batter in the team. Wednesday’s match was Lucknow’s fifth loss of the season.
