Pant Should Bat At Number Four For LSG: Raina
The Statesman Bhubaneswar
|March 20, 2025
Former India left-handed batter Suresh Raina believes Lucknow Super Giants captain Rishabh Pant should bat at number four as it would allow him to have a crack at finishing the innings in IPL 2025 season.
Pant did not play for India in the ODIs against England and in the victorious Champions Trophy campaign, as KL Rahul was the first-choice wicketkeeper-batter.
Moreover, with Sanju Samson making centuries against Bangladesh and South Africa in T20Is, it means that Pant has gone a bit down in the pecking order in the shortest format as well. In IPL 2025, as Lucknow Super Giants skipper, Pant will need a terrific season with the bat to be back in the India T20I set-up.
"I think this (season) will be very important for him. As you rightly said, he is not in that scheme currently. But I think if you see his captaincy, he is very cheerful and very innovative. He has that calmness and astute leadership. I really want him to play at number three.
