Pant’s Record-Breaking Auction Move
Earlier in the IPL mega auction in Jeddah last year, LSG surprised everyone by buying India’s wicketkeeper-batsman Rishabh Pant (Rishabh Pant in IPL 2024 Mega Auction) for Rs 27 crore, making him the most expensive player ever sold in an IPL auction.
Pant was the captain of DC from the 2021 to 2024 editions of the IPL, except for the 2023 season, which he missed due to recovering from an injury suffered in a car accident in December 2022, but before the retention deadline, he was released by DC, ending his nine-year association with them and was picked by LSG in the mega auction.
