IPL 2025: Top 3 batters LSG could sign as KL Rahul's replacement in auction

2. Rishabh Pant

Rishabh Pant could be one of the players LSG could target in the auction. He is going to bring captaincy experience along with him as he has led Delhi Capitals in 43 matches and boasts a win percentage of 53.49. Pant is a fine wicket-keeper who can also guide the spinners with his years of experience.

Pant amassed 446 runs from 13 matches in IPL 2024 at an average of 40.55 and a strike rate of 155.40. This was his best season in terms of runs scored since IPL 2019. Pant has stiff competition from Sanju Samson for the wicketkeeper-batter's role in the Indian T20I side. He will want to put on consistent performances to climb higher in the pecking order and the Super Giants could benefit from this immensely.
