“Ye Khud Ko Dhoni Samajh Raha Hai” – Rishabh Pant Trolled for Coming Late to Bat During LSG vs DC Match
Rishabh Pant faced heavy trolling for coming late to bat during the LSG vs DC match.
The 40th match of the IPL 2025 is taking place between Delhi Capitals (DC) and Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) at the Ekana Stadium in Lucknow.
Delhi Capitals won the toss and chose to bowl first. LSG got off to a flying start with Aiden Markram and Mitchell Marsh scoring freely. However, the team could not build on the early momentum and ended with 159 runs in their 20 overs.
Rishabh Pant’s Batting Position Sparks Trolls
The main talking point from the LSG innings was not just the collapse after the strong start — but Rishabh Pant’s surprising decision to come in at number 7. The Delhi Capitals captain is usually known for batting higher up the order, especially when the team is chasing or under pressure.
This time, he came out to bat in the final over and got out for a two-ball duck. This move didn’t go unnoticed by fans on social media. Many started trolling Pant, comparing him to MS Dhoni and accusing him of “hiding” behind other batters instead of taking charge when the team needed him.
Fans React
Some fans wrote that Pant should have walked in earlier, especially after key wickets fell. Others made memes, comparing his late entry to Dhoni’s similar tactic during his captaincy days. A few even joked that Pant only wanted to come in when the match was already over.
