A few reports claim that Rishabh Pant could be a part of the IPL 2025 Mega Auctions. Here, we take a look at the list of three teams which could be ready to spend INR 30 Cr if Rishabh Pant is in IPL 2025 auctions.
A quality cricketer, Pant will be of great use to any team. However, there are certain teams which need him more. Some of these teams could spend even 1/4th of their purse to hire him.
1) Lucknow Super Giants
LSG already has Nicholas Pooran, who offers similar attributes. However, it could be a risk in appointing him as the skipper. Also, with KL Rahul likely to leave the unit, LSG needs a player with a strong brand value. Pant can be this player. The pitches at home could also support his strengths. Hence, LSG is on this list.
2) Punjab Kings will surely target Rishabh Pant in IPL 2025 Mega Auctions
Punjab Kings is one of the teams which could be ready to spend INR 30 Cr if Rishabh Pant is in IPL 2025 auctions. The franchise needs a consistent captain who can lead the side for a decade. Now, the coaching department has a stable candidate in the form of Ricky Ponting. They would need the same in the captaincy area and Pant will be a solid choice. Of course, he will also add a bit more value with his cricketing skills, as well.
3) Royal Challengers Bengaluru
RCB will be desperate to have a player like Rishabh Pant, who could be the face of the franchise after Virat Kohli. The team definitely needs to plan for the future and they could start that now with Pant’s presence. As a left-handed middle-order batter and a wicket-keeper, Pant will be a no-brainer for the franchise. He could be the No.1 target if he comes to the auctions.
