Rishabh Pant’s IPL 2025 Woes Intensify
Rishabh Pant, known for his explosive batting and sharp leadership, is facing a turbulent IPL 2025. On April 27, 2025, the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) imposed a Rs 24 lakh fine on Pant for maintaining a slow over-rate during LSG’s crushing 54-run defeat to Mumbai Indians at Wankhede Stadium. This was LSG’s second over-rate violation this season, triggering a steep penalty under Article 2.22 of the IPL’s Code of Conduct. The fine adds to Pant’s woes, as his team struggles to find momentum in a highly competitive tournament. Fans are concerned about whether Pant can turn things around for LSG in the remaining matches.
