BCCI has penalized Rishabh Pant for maintaining a slow over rate during the match between LSG and CSK. He has been fined Rs 12 lakh for violating the IPL code of conduct.
Lucknow Super Giants captain Rishabh Pant has not had a good IPL season so far. His performance with the bat has been poor and he has also failed to perform well as the captain of the team.
Despite the win, Lucknow Super Giants are still placed at 10th position in the IPL 2026 points table. However, they will be confident of a slightly better performance with their two most destructive batsmen in great form.
