Rishabh Pant’s much-anticipated debut as Lucknow Super Giants captain turned into a nightmare after he was dismissed for a six-ball duck by Kuldeep Yadav in their IPL 2025 clash against Delhi Capitals on Monday.

Facing his former franchise, Pant failed to open his account, drawing sharp criticism from fans on social media. LSG, playing their season opener against DC, had gone all-in on Pant during the mega auction, securing him for a staggering Rs 27 crore, the highest bid in IPL history.
