India wicketkeeper Rishabh Pant is named Lucknow Super Giants captain for the 2025 Indian Premier League following his record-breaking move.

Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) owner Sanjeev Goenka feels India wicketkeeper batter Rishabh Pant will become the best captain in Indian Premier League (IPL) history.

LSG retained key players such as Nicholas Pooran, Ravi Bishnoi, and Ayush Badoni while adding big names like Aiden Markram, Mitchell Marsh, and David Miller.

"I think Rishabh Pant is going to finish as one of the best IPL captains ever. In 10-12 years time, you would hear his name associated with MS Dhoni and Rohit Sharma," Goenka said.

Rishabh Pant’s appointment as the captain of Lucknow Super Giants marks a new chapter in the 27-year-old’s career.

Record-breaking wicketkeeper Rishabh Pant has been named captain of Indian Premier League team Lucknow Super Giants for the upcoming edition of the lucrative T20 tournament, the franchise said Monday.

The 27-year-old became the league's most expensive player when he was acquired for Rs 27 crore at last year's IPL mega auction in Jeddah.
