Wicketkeeper-batter Rishabh Pant has been unveiled as the new captain of LSG. "I see a born leader in Pant. From my point of view...he will probably become the best captain IPL has ever seen," LSG owner Sanjiv Goenka said. Pant became the most expensive player in IPL history after being bought by LSG for ₹27 crore in the mega auction.
