Rishabh Pant: When the mega auction for IPL 2025 took place last year, it was already being speculated that Rishabh Pant could be the most expensive player. Something similar happened, but no one had thought that his price would reach 27 crores. When Rishabh Pant's name was called during the auction, the bidding was so fast that in a few minutes the amount crossed 15 crores and then 20 crores. But Pant has not been able to perform as well as the huge amount for which he has been included in the team. Now the fear is that he may become the reason for the humiliation of the team on his home team's ground.Questions on Rishabh Pant's performanceRishabh Pant has scored only 15 runs in the two matches played so far. Rishabh Pant has always played for Delhi Capitals and from there he made his place in the Indian team. But for the last few seasons, he has not been able to perform well in the IPL. In the first match of this season, he was out for zero without opening the account and also missed some easy stumpings in wicketkeeping. In the second match, he was out after scoring 15 runs, while the fans expected him to play a big innings.LSG will play the first match at homeThe team of Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) has won one out of two matches so far and lost one. Rishabh Pant's performance in the defeat was disappointing, while his role in the victory was negligible. Now the team is going to play the first match at its home ground Lucknow. On April 1, they will face Punjab Kings. The Punjab team has shown a great game so far, so this match will not be easy for LSG.Rishabh Pant will have to prove his valueCurrently, the team of Lucknow Super Giants is at the third position with two points in the points table, but many other teams are also present with two points. If LSG loses even one match from here, it will not take long for it to fall down. On the other hand, Punjab Kings have played only one match so far and have won it.Rishabh Pant will have to prove why he has been bought for Rs 27 crore and why he became the most expensive player in IPL. LSG's team has not won the IPL trophy even once so far, so the team has high expectations from Pant. He has to show with his performance that he is worth this price and can play an important role in helping the team win the title.
