Rishabh Pant’s Message to Fans

At the event, Pant addressed the LSG faithful. His words? Straight from the heart:

Thank you to LSG family for showing faith in me. I will give my 200% and that’s my commitment to you. I will try whatever is in my power to repay the faith you have shown.

I’m looking forward to have a new beginning with new energy and just have a blast out there, and have lots of fun. Yes this is a new team and a new set-up but my ideology of captaining a side doesn’t change. But as a cricketer you are [always] trying to add to your captaincy.”

He added:

“If you give confidence and trust in a player, he will do things you can’t even imagine. That’s the ideology we will try to have. We will give them trust, clear communication and lay out what role we have for them. One thing we will stress on is a never-say-die attitude. Performances will come and go, but are you fighting enough? Are you giving your 100% on the field? And that is something you can control as an individual.”

He’s ready to work with the talented squad. And his goal is crystal clear: make IPL 2025 unforgettable.
