After Rishabh Pant-led LSG suffered 10 defeats in IPL 2026, ex-South Africa batter Mark Boucher said, "Pant the cricketer and his leadership, two are not working together." "We want to see Pant hitting the ball all over ground...If captaincy is getting in the way, then get rid of it," he added. Pant has scored 312 runs with 28.36-average this season.
