Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) captain Rishabh Pant walked out to open for his side during the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025 match against Gujarat Titans (GT) at the Ekana Stadium in Lucknow on April 12. The Lucknow management took this decision after Mitchell Marsh was not available for the clash because his daughter was not well. Marsh has been in remarkable form in the IPL 2025 and has given a quickfire start for LSG. In his absence, Pant decided to walk out to bat while chasing 181 runs. Previously, Rishabh Pant opened the innings for the first time during the IPL 2016 edition. Here are some of the reactions by fans after Pant opened the innings for LSG.
