The Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) are ready to kick off their journey in the 18th season of the Indian Premier League (IPL) this Monday with a match against the Delhi Capitals (DC) in Visakhapatnam. Unfortunately, they’ve faced some tough luck lately with a couple of their main bowlers out due to injuries. But there’s some good news for LSG fans: Rishabh Pant has been named the new captain after they secured him for a big amount in the Mega Auction. As someone who has been a solid performer for Delhi over the years, Pant brings a lot to the table with his batting skills. As the 2025 season gets underway, he’s on the cusp of achieving a number of impressive milestones while wearing LSG’s colors this season.
Let’s break down what Pant could accomplish during the upcoming match between Delhi Capitals and Lucknow Super Giants, which is also the fourth match of IPL 2025, as well as throughout the rest of the year.
350 fours in T 20 Cricket
First up, Pant is just eight fours away from hitting an impressive mark of 350 fours in T20 cricket played in India. He’s shown just how explosive he can be, racking up boundaries for Team India in T20Is, for the Delhi Capitals in the IPL, and also during domestic games for Delhi. So, he is close to reaching this neat milestone of 350 boundaries, and fans will be eager to see him achieve it soon.
200 sixes in T 20 matches in India
Next, we have another record he’s closing in on: just 14 more sixes will put him at a whopping 200 sixes in T20 cricket in India. Pant burst onto the T20 scene as a young player with a lot of flair. Every season, he manages to keep the cricket lovers on the edge of their seats with his thrilling shots, so it’ll be exciting to see him hit yet another milestone soon as he approaches 200 sixes.
300 fours in IPL
Now let’s look at his IPL career. He is only four fours away from reaching the 300-mark in the IPL. Since he made his debut back in 2016, Pant has played 110 innings and accumulated 296 boundaries while representing the Delhi Capitals. It’s likely he’ll knock off those four fours in his very first match for LSG in the IPL 2025 against Delhi. This will just add to his status as one of the top hitters in the game.
100 dismissal in IPL
Another milestone on his radar is the 100-dismissal mark in IPL history. Pant only needs two more dismissals to hit that target. Currently, he stands with 95 dismissals as a wicketkeeper, making him the fourth-best in IPL history in this category. In addition to that, he’s also taken three catches as a fielder, which brings him up to a total of 98. His ability to contribute behind the stumps and in the field makes him a valuable player for any team he’s part of.
As the season kicks off, all eyes will be on Rishabh Pant as he aims for these personal records while leading his new team. It’ll be exciting to follow along as he strives not just to achieve these milestones but also to guide LSG to a successful season.
