Rishabh Pant Trolled Brutally After Another Flop Show

Lucknow Super Giants skipper Rishabh Pant was trolled brutally on social media after yet another disappointing show in the ongoing IPL 2025. During the encounter against Mumbai Indians, Pant managed to score just 4 runs off 2 deliveries before he was dismissed by Will Jacks. Pant scored 106 runs in 9 matches ahead of today's encounter and his performance earned him a lot of criticism from both fans as well as experts. Pant became the costliest player in the history of IPL auctions after he was bought by LSG for Rs 27 crore but he has not lived up to the price tag. Following yet another flop show, social media blasted him for his lack of runs and even took a jibe over his mammoth price tag.

LSG's decision to bowl first anticipating a spin-friendly track under the sun did backfire to some extent on a batting-friendly pitch at the Wankhede Stadium, Mumbai, with none of their bowlers able to control stroke play. MI's scoring rate hovered around 10 an over consistently even as it felt they were going through a slowdown in the second half.

In this match, Jasprit Bumrah returned to his very best. The Hardik Pandya-led team hammered Lucknow Super Giants, with a special performance from Bumrah, who returned to his thinking best.

Defending 215 runs, Bumrah wiped out the entire lower middle order of Lucknow in a single over, handing MI a sensational win by 54 runs. Bowling in his return spell in the 15th over, Bumrah picked up the wickets of David Miller, Abdul Samad, and Avesh Khan in the space of 5 balls.
