India wicketkeeper batter Rishabh Pant has joined his Indian Premier League (IPL) franchise Lucknow Super Giants ahead of the upcoming season which is scheduled to start from March 22. Pant was seen giving a pep talk to his teammates ahead of their tournament's opener clash.
Lucknow-based franchise spent Rs 27 crore in the mega auction for IPL 2025 to get Rishabh Pant as they released their previous captain KL Rahul before the mega auction. Ahead of IPL 2025, Pant delivered a pep talk to his teammates in an attempt to motivate them for the new season.
“I feel there is a lot of experience in the group. I think management has a lot of experience, we have a lot of senior players. Keep sharing your experience with the younger guys and let that experience flow into the younger group,” Pant told his LSG teammates.
“We want to create a place where people can come and express themselves. It’s easier to say than to do it becuase it requires a lot of effort from each & every individual. It’s not just the management. I think it’s because of the players. We can create that environment. What I’ve always felt is that if you back your players and give them enough trust, they can perform at any level,” Pant added.
LSG will start their IPL 2025 campaign against Delhi Capitals which will take place on March 24 at ACA International Cricket Stadium - Visakhapatnam.
