IPL 2026: Pant's Yet To Find His Template For White-ball Cricket, Says Karim

By IANS News April 23, 2026 • 13:14 PM View: 191

Lucknow Super Giants: Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) captain Rishabh Pant’s struggles in IPL 2026 are rooted in his inability to find a clear batting template for himself in white-ball cricket, said former India wicketkeeper Saba Karim.

Pant was dismissed for a three-ball duck on Wednesday, as LSG suffered their fourth consecutive loss of this season. His overall tally in IPL 2026 stands at 147 runs in seven innings at a strike rate of 132.43.

"A modern T20 batter has to find his own template. For instance, whether it is Shreyas Iyer or Rajat Patidar, even if Rajat Patidar goes in to bat on a track like this, I'm sure he's got his clarity in his mind that he will go and play the big shots, and he's confident of doing so.
