Rishabh Pant, who was bought for a whopping Rs 27 crore by Lucknow Super Giants in the IPL 2025 mega auction, has undoubtedly been the biggest disappointment of the season. The wicketkeeper-batter, with an average just over 12, has yet to produce a single match-winning performance for his team.

Other big names, such as Rahul Tripathi, Rachin Ravindra, Ishan Kishan, Venkatesh Iyer, Glenn Maxwell, Ravichandran Ashwin, and Mohammed Shami, have also failed to meet expectations, leaving their franchises and fans frustrated.
