    IPL 2025: Buying Pant, Pooran For Hefty Price Left LSG With No Funds To Build A Strong Bowling Unit, Says Moody

    Buying Rishabh Pant: Former Sunrisers Hyderabad coach Tom Moody feels that Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) failed to ace the auction game last year after spending Rs 48 crore on acquiring just two players - captain Rishabh Pant (Rs 27 crore) and Nicholas Pooran (Rs 21 crore) - which left them with little to no money to dilute on signing top-notch bowlers.

    A six-wicket defeat against Sunrisers Hyderabad crushed their hopes of qualifying for the playoffs for the second successive season since their induction to the tournament in 2022.

    "The expense on Rishabh Pant and Nicholas Pooran, those two players, makes it very hard to build a very strong bowling unit. Because you just don't have the funds to compete at the auction table," Moody said on ESPNcricinfo's Time Out.
