Ex-RCB star says Pant should take a step back as LSG flounders in IPL 2026.
Rishabh Pant’s Lucknow Super Giants are on a slippery slope, and Wasim Jaffer isn’t holding back. After LSG’s fourth loss in six matches, the former India opener threw some serious shade, suggesting that Pant might need to demote himself to get the team back on track. The captaincy pressure is real, and Jaffer’s comments hit hard, pointing to a lack of clarity in LSG’s strategy.
Jaffer’s frustration is palpable as he questions the decisions coming from the LSG think tank. It’s not just about losing; it’s about how the team has been stumbling through matches, looking lost and uninspired. With the IPL 2026 season heating up, the stakes are rising, and Pant's leadership is under the spotlight. Can he rise to the occasion or will LSG continue to flounder?
As the pressure mounts, fans are left wondering if a shake-up is needed within the squad. Will Pant take Jaffer’s advice and make a move, or is he too stubborn to change? The next match could be crucial for both Pant and LSG as they look to turn their fortunes around in this rollercoaster season.
