After enduring a dismal run of form with the bat throughout the entire 2025, the star LSG wicketkeeper-batter and skipper, Risabh Pant, stunned everyone in the final league game of the tournament. The out-of-form Southpaw made a stunning comeback to his batting form, with a sensational century against RCB in Lucknow.
Alongside the swashbuckling century against RCB, what attracted the eyeballs and caught the attention of the fans was the ecstatic front flip celebration that Pant pulled off after completing his century with a boundary. He took off his gloves before showing some amazing ‘front flip’ moves during his century celebration.
The video of Rishabh Pant’s unexpected and stunning ‘front flip’ celebration after completing the century against RCB immediately went viral on social media as soon as it was shared on X (formerly Twitter).

Pant’s century propels LSG to a massive total
Speaking of the action of the first innings in the game between LSG and RCB, the hosts posted a massive total of 227 runs for the loss of 3 wickets in the allotted 20 overs. Skipper Rishabh Pant played a blistering and unbeaten knock of 118 runs off just 61 balls, with 11 fours and eight sixes. He also stitched an outstanding 152-run partnership with opener Mitchell Marsh, who also smashed 67 runs off just 37 balls, with four fours and five sixes.
Nuwan Thushara, Bhuvneshwar Kumar, and Romario Shepherd scalped a wicket each for RCB in the first innings amidst a poor day for their bowling attack.
Returning to Rishabh Pant, it is his first century in the ongoing IPL 2025 after a whole season ‘poor run of form.’ Apart from that, it’s his second century in his IPL career after a long wait of 7 years since he made his maiden ton in IPL 2017.
After the conclusion of the ongoing IPL 2025, Pant will be in action for Team India in the upcoming five-match Test series against England in England. The 27-year-old has been appointed as the vice-captain of the senior men’s Test squad of India.
