    IPL 2026: LSG Accepts Rishabh Pant’s Resignation As Side's Captain After Tenth-place Finish

    By IANS News May 29, 2026 • 17:42 PM View: 101
    Lucknow Super Giants: Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) on Friday confirmed that wicketkeeper-batter Rishabh Pant has stepped down from captaincy duties with immediate effect, and the same has been accepted by the franchise after the side had a tenth‑place finish in IPL 2026.

    After leaving Delhi Capitals, a side he led before in the IPL, Pant took over as LSG’s skipper after the franchise roped him in for a record-breaking Rs 27 crore in the mega auction held in 2024. But under him, LSG endured back‑to‑back disappointing campaigns - the side finished seventh last season and slipped further this year by ending at the bottom spot of the points table with just four wins from 14 games.

    “Rishabh approached the franchise with this request and we have respectfully accepted it. These decisions are never easy. We are grateful for everything Rishabh has brought to this dressing room as captain. Our focus now is on the collective - rebuilding and restructuring to reach the best standards,” said Tom Moody, the side’s global director of cricket, in a statement on Friday.
