Rishabh Pant averages 39.85 versus SRH in IPL: Key stats
What's the story
Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) will take on Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) in their next Indian Premier League (IPL) match on Sunday. The game is scheduled to be played at Hyderabad's Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium. Eyes will be on LSG skipper Rishabh Pant, who faltered while opening in his team's IPL 2026 opener. Meanwhile, Pant has enjoyed operating against SRH in the past. On this note, let's decode his stats against the Orange Army.
Numbers
Over 550 runs against the team
As per ESPNcricinfo, Pant has returned with 558 runs across 18 matches against SRH. No other IPL team has conceded as many or more runs against the wicketkeeper-batter. Meanwhile, Pant's average of 39.85 against SRH is the fifth-best among batters with at least 500 runs against the team. The southpaw also owns a solid strike rate against the Orange Army (144.18).
Knock
A historic hundred in 2018
Pant's only 50-plus score against SRH was a historic ton in the 2018 season. Batting at number four for Delhi Daredevils (now Capitals), Pant slammed an unbeaten 128(63) in Delhi, albeit in a losing cause. The batter fought alone as none of his teammates could even touch the 25-run mark. Pant's 128 was the highest individual IPL score by an Indian at that time.
