Ahead of LSG-KKR match, ex-India batter Wasim Jaffer said LSG skipper Rishabh Pant should play purely as a batter. "If I were in that dugout, the first thing I would do is make Aiden Markram the captain," he said, adding, "He has led South Africa very successfully." Pant-led LSG have lost five of their first seven IPL 2026 matches.
