Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) skipper Rishabh Pant once again failed with the bat in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025 as he fell for a low score in the match against the Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH).
Rishabh Pant was cleaned up for a low score by Eshan Malinga's unbelievable catch in the 61st match of IPL 2025 at the Bharat Ratna Shri Atal Bihari Vajpayee Ekana Cricket Stadium in Lucknow on Monday, May 19.

Batting first in the match, Lucknow Super Giants' opening duo of Mitchell Marsh and Aiden Markram provided the team with an excellent start.
The openers batted with an aggressive intent from ball one and destroyed the SRH bowling unit. Markram and Marsh added 115 runs for the opening wicket before the latter got out in the 11th over.
After the fall of the first wicket, Rishabh Pant walked out to bat at the No.3 spot, promoting himself in the batting order and taking the place of Nicholas Pooran.
Pant, however, was unable to justify the move and got out after scoring just 7 runs off 6 balls, with one four. He was dismissed on the last ball of the 12th over, which was bowled by Eshan Malinga.
Malinga bowled a pace off full-length delivery to Pant, who leaned forward and only managed to chip it back towards the left of the bowler.
Eshan Malinga leaped in his follow-through and held onto the ball with both hands, and despite falling down, he didn't drop the ball and completed an exceptional catch.
After getting out for yet another low score, Pant looked quite disappointed, and as he was going back to the hut, the reaction of LSG owner Sanjiv Goenka was caught on camera. Sanjiv Goenka was also seen walking inside in disappointment.
