IPL 2025 Auction: Rishabh Pant Breaks Records, Joins LSG for ₹27 Crore as Costliest Pick in History

Rishabh Pant made history at the IPL Auction 2025, becoming the most expensive player in IPL auction history with a staggering ₹27 crore bid from Lucknow SuperGiants (LSG).

The wicketkeeper-batter, who had been with Delhi Capitals since 2016, was released ahead of this year's auction, making him a prime target.

Delhi Capitals initially exercised their Right to Match (RTM) card to retain Pant at ₹20.75 crore, but LSG raised the stakes, forcing DC to withdraw.

Pant, who made a strong comeback in IPL 2024 after recovering from a life-threatening car accident, had an average season with 446 runs, but his leadership and proven IPL experience made him a valuable asset.

The record-breaking signing of Pant follows his illustrious career and marks a new chapter for LSG as they bolster their squad for IPL 2025 #IPL #IPL2025 #RishabhPant #RishabhPantIPL #RishabhPantLSG #RishabhPantIPLAuction #IPL2025 #RishabhPant #LSG #IPLauction #IPLHistory #RecordBreakingBid #IPLmegaauction #LucknowSuperGiants #DelhiCapitals #IPL #Pant27Crore #IPL2025Auction #CricketNews #BiddingWar #IPLstar ~ED.194~ED.155~HT.334~
