Rishabh Pant’s IPL 2025 horror show put him behind Shubman Gill in the race to become the India Test skipper.
In IPL 2025, LSG captain Rishabh Pant’s torrid run continued on Monday. Purchasing a record in the auction, Pant has failed to have an impact with the bat in hand. The 27 -year -old failure to handle the weight of expectations can eventually spend on any occasion to make him the captain of India, now with Shubman Gill.
Rishabh Pant’s struggle cost him the cost of captaining India?
Rohit Sharma has retired from Test cricket, and India is looking for a new captain. Pants is a bole -fid superstar among the whites for India. Despite the disappearance of a part of the matches due to injury, the color of the left hand since 2020 has been India’s major run-song. The 27-year-old has been the vice-captain on this occasion and was also in consideration when Rohit Sharma made Virat Kohli a success.
Now Jasprit Bumrah also allegedly rejected the job, pants are likely to be one of the contenders for the top job. However, his run with LSG is likely to do some favor. The wicketkeeper arrived in his new franchise with a record bid, expecting him to lead for glory.
However, Pant has failed to cheat. With bat, Rishabh scored 135 runs in 12 innings, striking 100. His average is 12.27, a strict picture of his influence on LSG’s fate. As a captain, he has failed to galvanize the team, LSG now needs 3 wins in 3 matches to make a playoffs. Nevertheless, they may lose if the results do not go in their favor.
Gill Trump Pants in India Test Captain Race
While IPL credentials are unlikely to be at the forefront of red ball discussions, they definitely have some effects. Rishabh’s competition, Shubman Gill, has taken his side Gujarat Titans to the playoffs. He was the vice-captain of Rohit Sharma in the success of India’s Champions Trophy. With the bat, he ranks second on the Orange Cap Leaderboard, which is from the front.
If the pants had done well in the IPL, it could have been a completely different story. The left -handed player would have a more popular option, in which Gill recently installed himself towards the test. Pants, meanwhile, also moves in such a strict form. However, he has disturbed his opportunities, and now the possibility of a deputy position is on the horizon with India vs England.
