Indian cricket team’s star wicketkeeper batsman Rishabh Pant has recently become the most expensive player to be sold in IPL history. It is noteworthy that Pant has been included in their team by Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) by paying a record Rs 27 crore in the IPL 2025 mega auction held in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia.

However, Delhi Capitals fans got a big shock when Pant was released by the team. However, after this there was a possibility that DC would take Pant back into the team through Right to Match (RTM). But when Lucknow made a bid of Rs 27 crore, Delhi refused to take Pant at this price. Royal Challengers Bangalore and Sunrisers Hyderabad were also seen bidding for Pant in the auction.

Pant will earn more than Rs 27 crore in IPL 2025

For your information, let us tell you that Rishabh Pant will earn a little more than Rs 27 crore in IPL 2025. It is noteworthy that before the mega auction, a change was announced in the rules prepared by the IPL Governing Council regarding the match fees of the players. Let us tell you that according to the new rules, for playing every IPL match, the player will be given a match fee of Rs 7.50 lakh per match.

Also, Pant is likely to be made the captain of Lucknow Super Giants in IPL 2025. Accordingly, if he, being the captain, plays all the 14 matches, he will get Rs 1.05 crore as match fee. According to this, Pant is going to be seen earning a total of Rs 28.05 crore in IPL 2025.

IPL 2025 is important for Pant

It is noteworthy that Pant had made a spectacular comeback through IPL 2024 after a road accident in December 2022. This season he scored a total of 446 runs at an average of 40.55. Because of this performance, he also got a chance to play in the T20 World Cup 2024. But he could not perform after the first few matches.

Currently, Sanju Samson is performing amazingly while opening for Team India in T20 cricket, so IPL 2025 becomes very important for Rishabh Pant.
