Zaheer Khan on LSG’s IPL 2025 Strategy: "You Will See a Fearless Approach"
Lucknow Super Giants’ (LSG) team mentor Zaheer Khan has made it clear—the team will play fearless cricket under their new captain, Rishabh Pant, in the upcoming Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025 season.
📢 “You will see a fearless approach from this team,” Zaheer declared during a press conference on Wednesday, reflecting the aggressive intent that LSG aims to bring to the tournament.
🗣 Addressing concerns about injuries and setbacks, Zaheer dismissed any negativity, instead pointing to Pant’s inspirational comeback as the defining force behind the team’s mindset.
“We are not talking about injuries. The captain himself has faced similar challenges, but he has a very positive outlook. The way he approaches the game, the way he puts pressure on the bowlers—you will see LSG play in that manner because the leader sets the tone,” he stated.
💡 Pant’s dynamic, attacking style of play has been a game-changer in T20 cricket, and LSG looks set to adopt the same high-risk, high-reward philosophy.
✅ After spending eight seasons with Delhi Capitals, Pant will begin his captaincy journey with LSG against his former team on March 24 in Visakhapatnam.
📊 Pant’s IPL Career Stats (2016-2024):
🚨 In the 2024 mega auction, LSG secured Pant for a record-breaking ₹27 crore, making him the most expensive player in IPL history. Just two months later, he was officially appointed as LSG’s captain.
🏆 Pant was part of India’s ICC Champions Trophy-winning squad recently, but he did not get to play a match.
🚀 A strong IPL 2025 performance could see him reclaim the No.1 wicketkeeper-batter spot for Team India in white-ball cricket.
