Talking about Rishabh Pant's debut in IPL season with LSG, Aakash Chopra said, "He is a good player...but the truth is that he hasn't done well this year." He added, "It seemed like he was extremely disturbed & frustrated...That’s not the captain you want." Pant has scored 135 at an average of 12.27 in IPL 2025 so far.
