Key Takeaways from Rishabh Pant’s Captaincy Performances in IPL
Early Captaincy with Delhi Capitals (DC):

Under his leadership, Delhi topped the league table and qualified for the Playoffs, but couldn’t progress beyond the knockout stage.
Pant continued to lead the team in 2022, finishing the season in 5th place.
As captain, Pant led Delhi Capitals in 43 matches, recording 23 wins, 19 losses, and 1 tie — resulting in a win percentage of 53.48%.
His win-loss ratio as DC captain stands at approximately 1.21.
With the bat, Pant scored around 1,205 runs in 43 games as captain, averaging 35 with a strike rate of 144, including six half-centuries.
Setback and Return:
He missed the entire 2023 IPL season due to injuries sustained in a car accident.
Pant made his return to the IPL in the 2024 season.
Move to Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) and Captaincy in 2025:
Pant became the most expensive player in IPL history at the 2025 mega auction, setting a new record when he was acquired by Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) for INR 27 crore.
He was handed the captaincy after LSG parted ways with KL Rahul, with hopes of revitalizing the team following a disappointing previous season.
Pant’s captaincy in IPL 2025 has seen mixed results so far.
