The last and 70th match of the league stage of IPL 2025 was played on Tuesday, 27 May, between Lucknow Super Giants and Royal Challengers Bangalore at the Ekana Stadium in Lucknow. RCB registered a spectacular win by six wickets with 8 balls to spare and confirmed their place in Qualifier 1. At the same time, LSG's journey concluded with a seventh-place finish. In this match, the captain of LSG also scored a century in an explosive style, which did not help the team. Captain Rishabh Pant looked very disappointed at the end of his campaign in the tournament.
LSG captain Rishabh Pant said after the game that you need to play well for 40 overs. 20 overs in a T20 game definitely can't help you out, and that's been our tale. There was a lot of worry regarding injuries prior to the tournament, this was something that had hurt us all season long. The LSG team had lost 8 of its 14 matches.
Regarding his century against RCB, Pant said that I was feeling good in every match, but sometimes it does not succeed. Today, I made sure that if I am getting off to a good start, then I should score big. As all experienced players do, always learn from the best. Whenever you get a start, try to score as big as possible. How they were going to bowl was something I kept in mind. I played every ball with the same intensity and maintained that level of intensity throughout the innings.
At the same time, Pant said about the performance of the team this season that there will be many areas on which we will talk and try to improve ourselves. But the season is about to end, I don't know where the conversation will go. I just want to rest for a few days, don't want to think about cricket.
He further said that the England series is coming and I am just preparing for it in a good mood. At the same time, talking about the positive aspects of the team in the tournament, he said that our batting unit has progressed, there have also been some special bowling performances. Digvesh Rathi is one of them, Avesh has bowled some important overs. We are getting opportunities, but we are not able to maintain it for long.
