LSG vs RCB: Rishabh Pant's pain spilled out after losing despite scoring a century in his last match of IPL 2025

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.
