Rishabh Pant was signed by the Lucknow Super Giants for a massive ₹27 crore after being released by the Delhi Capitals. Pant had spent his entire IPL journey with DC since making his debut in 2016 and led the franchise between 2021 and 2024, except for 2023, when he missed the season due to injury.
"The moment we knew he was not being retained, we planned the team around him. I've said this before and I have no hesitation in saying it again. I believe he's a great leader. His best leadership is yet to come," Goenka said.
