Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) was martyred Rishabh Pant, with the list of extensive injuries to the team as the best reason behind the offer of the poor side in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025. Their amazing offer this year. However, the former cricket player Mohamed Kaif gave the LSG management a sharp response to the “excuse”, saying that the owners should not have kept such players who were exposed to the injury.
Before the IPL Mega auction last year, LSG Beveran (21 Crores), Ravi Bishnawi (11 Crores), Maiank Yadaf (11 Crura Rural), Mohsen Khan (4 Crura Rural), and Yosh Badouni (4 Crura Rural). Among the piece, Maianck barely played 2-3 games while Mohsen was unable to display it in one game this year.
“I would like to pay money to keep the players who can play the full season. The entire bowling attack is exposed to the injury. I do not say that the injuries do not occur, but for the players who suffer from it, they stop keeping them for large money,” Kaif said after the match.
Even Akash Deep, one of the Pacers LSG who bought at the auction, was not available to the entire season. At the end of the match against SRH on Monday, Pant referred to the voids left by the absence of these players as a reason behind the team’s failure to fulfill its capabilities.
“It was certain that it was one of our best seasons, but upon reaching the championship, we had a lot of gaps, injuries and team, and I was in the team, we decided not to talk about it, but it became difficult to fill these gaps for us,” Pant said after the match.
He added: “The way we planned auction, if we have the same bowling … but this is the cricket game, and sometimes things go on your way and sometimes do not do that, we are proud of the way we played and take the positives from the season instead of the negative side.”
