    What's the story

    India's dynamic wicketkeeper-batter Rishabh Pant will play for Lucknow Super Giants in the upcoming Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025.

    The team bought him for a massive ₹27 crore in the mega-auction, making him the most expensive player in IPL history.

    DC used the Right To Match card for Pant at ₹23.5 crore. However, LSG upped the bid to ₹27 crore and sealed the deal.

    Pant surpassed Shreyas Iyer's value of ₹26.75 crore earlier at the auction.

    Player profile

    Pant's impressive IPL record and base price

    Pant was a pivotal player for DC over the years, scoring 3,284 runs in 111 matches at an average of 35.31.

    His highest score is an impressive 128*.

    The southpaw has slammed 18 fifties besides a ton as his strike reads an impressive 148.93.

    This record and competitive pricing made Pant a hot pick among franchises, including heavyweights like Chennai Super Kings.

    By 2024, Pant had established himself as a marquee player for DC and was once again bought by them for a whopping Rs. 16 crore in the auction.
