Rishabh Pant became the most expensive player in IPL history after Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) bought him for ₹27 crore in the mega auction. Former India player Suresh Raina took to his Twitter account and wrote, "Muskuraiye aap Lucknow me hain @RishabhPant17." With Pant joining LSG, he is also likely to lead the team as well.
