Rishabh Pant has been in a poor run of form in the latest Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025 season, having moved to a new franchise after getting picked by the Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) in the mega auction. In 11 innings so far, Pant has just managed to score 128 runs, averaging 12.80 at a poor strike-rate of 99.22. He has only scored one half-century this season, registering his highest score of 63.

Against his upcoming opponents Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH), Pant has an excellent batting record, casting some hopes for a personal comeback. He has scored the highest number of runs against SRH in his IPL career so far, including his best knock of an unbeaten 128 off 63 balls in IPL 2018. In total, Pant has amassed 551 runs against SRH in 17 innings, averaging 42.38 at a strike-rate of 144.62. Apart from his knock if 128*, Pant is yet to score another half-century or century against the Hyderabad franchise and has been once dismissed for a duck.

Preview of upcoming LSG vs SRH IPL 2025 match

LSG are set to take on SRH at the Ekana Cricket Stadium on May 19, 2025, in the 61st match of the IPL 2025. While SRH are already eliminated from the playoffs race, LSG still have a slim chance of making it to the playoffs with three more games remaining. Currently seventh in the points table, LSG will have to win all of their three remaining games starting today against SRH.

Their current form has been a little concerning as the Lucknow franchise has lost three consecutive fixtures before coming into this match. A final push for the playoffs could be the motivation Rishabh Pant’s men need to emerge victorious tonight as they will take on SRH, who are simply playing for pride now.
