Rishabh Pant’s streak of low scores is not coming to an end, with the wicket-keeper batter getting dismissed on a duck in the LSG vs RR match in IPL 2026. Fans have turned against him after the latest outing in the 19th season of the tournament. He has shown no intent so far, and his performance is costing LSG big time.

Chasing 160 in 20 overs, he tried to take on Nandre Burger, but the ball took the deflection of his bat, and Dhruv Jurel completed a regulation catch between the stumps.

Pant looked angry while returning to the dressing room in Lucknow. LSG supporters are questioning his price tag of INR 27 crore, with many predicting a sharp decline in his value after the conclusion of the season and likely release by the owner of the team.

In the first three matches of the season, he amassed 7, 68* and 10 against Delhi Capitals, Sunrisers Hyderabad and the Kolkata Knight Riders. In the fourth outing of the edition, he contributed 18 runs vs the Gujarat Titans before managing 1 and 43 against the Royal Challengers Bengaluru and Punjab Kings.
