Lucknow Super Giants had a decent outing with the bat in the ongoing game against Delhi Capitals. Opening batters Mitchell Marsh (45) and Aiden Markram (52) took their team off to a flying start with the bat as they added 87 runs to pressure the Axar Patel-led side.
Even after that, Rishabh Pant didn't come out to bat as David Miller and Ayush Badoni were next in line. The keeper-batter then came to bat in the last over with just two balls remaining, and the move failed terribly as he failed to make an impact yet again.
Lucknow Super Giants posted a total of 159 runs on the board
This was the first time in the last 113 innings in the Indian Premier League that Rishabh Pant batted at number seven or lower. He batted twice down the order previously, both in his debut season in 2016. He bagged the two-ball duck as his poor season with the bat continued.

Sanju Samson might fail in consecutive matches but he will never hide himself in the batting order like Rishabh Pant. The biggest disrespect for Sanju Samson has been getting compared to mediocre batter called Rishabh Pant.
