Star wicketkeeper-batter and LSG skipper Rishabh Pant launched a brilliant counterattack after the early blows for his side against CSK in the ongoing 31st game of IPL 2025. Pant came to bat at number four after Nicholas Pooran was dismissed on the last ball of the fourth over.
Meanwhile, Pant also displayed his sensational batting skills when he smashed an amazing reverse-ramp shot for a six off Jamie Overton on the third ball of the seventh over. Pant’s reverse scoop went straight into the stands beyond the deep third-man region.
The video of Rishabh Pant’s stunning reverse-ramp six off Jamie Overton also started making rounds on social media as soon as it was shared by the official broadcasters on their official X handle (formerly Twitter).
Here’s the video:
Speaking of the current action of the game between LSG and CSK, the visiting skipper, MS Dhoni, won the toss and asked LSG to bat first. Batting first, the hosts scored 107 runs for the loss of 4 wickets in 14 overs at the time of filling this copy, having skipper Rishabh Pant and middle-order batter Abdul Samad there in the middle with the individual scores of 36 runs and 1 run, respectively.
The veteran CSK all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja has scalped 2 wickets for his side in the first innings so far, alongside a wicket each picked by Khaleel Ahmed and Anshul Kamboj.
Rishabh Pant’s LSG are aiming to win this game and move to the top spot in the tournament’s points table. They are coming off three consecutive wins in the last three games, with a recent 6-wicket win against GT in the previous game.
A win in this game will take them to the apex of the table, surpassing RCB, DC, and GT in the standings.
Besides that, Rishabh Pant’s return to form is also a good sign for LSG while moving forward in the tournament’s current season to qualify for the knockout stage.
