Mohammed Kaif feels that Rishabh Pant did not know his own role as the LSG captain after his battle with the bat continued during the game against SRH on Monday, May 19. A hinge that was purchased for an incredible Rs. 2 crore from Lucknow at the IPL 2025 auction tried to live with a bat. In 12 matches, Pant scored only 135 runs in 135 balls with one fifty to his name.
Captain LSG on Monday again failedHe scored 7 out of 6 balls against SRH. Lucknow eventually lost the game and Discarding from the Play-Off race with defeat. KAIF spoke to Star Sports and said that Pant would have to decide on his launchers if the LSG is about to rebuild next year. The former dough also said that Pant should not change its place and that the team should be built around it.
“If you have to prepare for next year, you have to decide on your launch number as a captain. It should remain the same from the first match and should not change. Whether you want to play 3 or No. 4, you should build a team around it and play players accordingly,” Kaif said.
“Tried to do almost the whole job as a captain”
Kaif said it was as if Pant was trying to do the whole work as a captain most of the time. The former dough said that the hinge should learn that he must stick to one place.
“But now I saw that he sometimes doesn’t come to the bat, trying to do almost the whole work as a captain on other occasions. Then you feel he doesn’t know his own role.
LSG will be next to GT 22. May.
