Rishabh Pant, the captain of Lucknow Super Giants, hasn’t been in great form during this IPL season. So far, he has only managed to score 17 runs in his three matches, and it’s pretty clear that he’s struggling. However, the aggressive left-handed batsman is eyeing some important milestones that he could hit in the next game. The team is set to play against the Mumbai Indians on April 4, and after lackluster performances in their first and last games, both Pant and the team are eager to get back on track.
With that in mind, let’s take a look at some of the records Pant could achieve in this upcoming match.
350 fours in T20 cricket
First up, he’s just 8 boundaries away from hitting 350 fours in T20 matches played in India. This would make him the fourth Indian to reach this mark. Pant is known for his ability to play fearless shots and often leaves bowlers struggling to cope with his aggressive style. If he can find that rhythm again, hitting 8 fours against Mumbai doesn’t seem too far-fetched.
300 fours in IPL
Next, he’s just 4 fours away from becoming part of the exclusive 300-fours club in IPL history. As a key player for Lucknow, reaching this milestone would add to his already impressive record. Pant has a unique ability to balance power with skill, making it tough for both fast bowlers and spinners. If he gets those four boundaries, he’ll move ahead of some fellow players, already surpassing Shreyas Iyer in this department.
50 dismissal in T 20 cricket
Finally, Pant is just two dismissals shy of collecting 50 catches or stumpings as a captain in T20s. This is pretty impressive when you think about the dual responsibilities he has on the field. His quick reflexes and decision-making skills behind the stumps have been crucial in many games. With some talented spinners in the LSG lineup, it’ll be interesting to see if he can reach that milestone in the match against Mumbai.
Overall, the upcoming game is a chance for Rishabh Pant to turn things around. His record-breaking potential adds a layer of excitement to the match, and fans will be eager to see how he performs. Let’s hope he finds his footing again!
