Soon after LSG announced that Rishabh Pant will no longer lead the franchise in IPL, social media was flooded with reactions from fans and netizens. While some supported the decision, many speculated that the move may not have been entirely voluntary. Several users alleged that the franchise management and owners may have played a role behind the scenes.
In a shocking development ahead of the next IPL season, Rishabh Pant has stepped down as captain of Lucknow Super Giants following the franchise’s disappointing IPL 2026 campaign. The team officially confirmed the news through a statement, claiming that Pant himself requested to be relieved from captaincy duties.
Pant, who joined the franchise in a record-breaking ₹27 crore price, had been leading the side since his arrival. However, LSG endured a forgettable season this year, finishing at the bottom of the points table with just four wins and failing to qualify for the playoffs once again.
