In a very interesting move, Rishabh Pant opened the batting alongside Mitchell Marsh in Lucknow Super Giants’ opening IPL 2026 game against Delhi Capitals. The move didn’t quite go as per the plan, as the southpaw made only seven runs off nine balls before being run out in the third over of the match. Explaining the move after the game, Pant noted that he moved up to counter Axar Patel, who was supposed to bowl in the powerplay. However, since he got out before that, the plan didn’t quite go well.
