'Stupid, Stupid, Stupid': Fans Troll Rishabh Pant For Scoring 6-Ball Duck On LSG Debut In IPL 2025
Fans badly trolled Rishabh Pant after his captaincy debut for LSG ended with a six-ball duck against his former franchise Delhi Capitals.
Rishabh Pant‘s debut as a Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) batter and captain couldn’t have gone much worse as he got out for a six-ball duck against his old franchise Delhi Capitals (DC) at the ACA-VDCA Cricket Stadium in IPL 2025 on Monday. His big day was ruined by his dear friend, Kuldeep Yadav, in the 14th over of the first innings.
Kuldeep tied Pant up with two wide-of-outside-off deliveries which the left-hander couldn’t get away. The fourth ball was on the pads and Pant mistimed the sweep straight it short fine. Under pressure, his partner Nicholas Pooran walked towards him after this and the duo had a brief chat.

Perhaps recognizing the opportunity, Kuldeep went back to his wide line and tossed it up, inviting the slog. Pant reached out to it but couldn’t get under the loop and ended up toe-ending it to long-off where Faf du Plessis took the easiest of catches — giving the LSG fans the ultimate heartbreak.
LSG signed him for an IPL record-shattering fee of Rs. 27 crore in the auction after his decision to leave DC. The fact wasn’t lost on LSG and neutral cricket fans who took on X (formerly Twitter) to troll him.
For Kuldeep, it was almost like another day in the office against Pant. This was the third time he got him out in IPL in six innings. The batter now averages just 7.66 against the left-arm wrist spinner.
