Rishabh Pant made a stellar knock in the IPL 2025 game between Lucknow Super Giants and Royal Challengers Bengaluru on May 27 at the Ekana Cricket Stadium.

He went on to hit a century, helping the side to cross the 200-run mark on Tuesday’s clash.

Batting first, Mitchell Marsh and Matthew Breetzke opened the innings while Nuwan Thusara opened the bowling attack.

Thushara brought the first breakthrough, dismissing Breetzke for 14 runs. With Marsh and Pant at the crease, Lucknow went on to score 55 runs in the powerplay.

Mitchell Marsh put up a solid knock scoring 67 runs off 37 deliveries before being dismissed by Bhuvneshwar Kumar. Marsh and Pant made a 152 runs partnership for the second wicket.

With Lucknow aiming for a massive total, Rishabh Pant went on to score 100 runs off 54 deliveries which included 10 fours and 6 sixes.

Speaking at the toss, Jitesh Sharma said, “We will field first. Looks like a good wicket, we’ll fancy to chase. Rajat Patidar is our impact player. Looking to win and make it into the top-2.”

“Tim David misses out, Liam comes in, so does Thushara, he replaces Ngidi who left the team,” concluded Jitesh Sharma.

On the other hand, Rishabh Pant said, “We don’t mind batting or bowling first, we did show the glimpse of the potential in our last game, but every match is a learning curve, till the last ball is bowled, we will give our 100 percent. Few changes – Breetzke is in and Digvesh Rathi are back in.”
