During the IPL 2025 mega auction, Rishabh Pant expressed relief that he wasn’t acquired by Punjab Kings (PBKS), stating, “I only had one tension, that was Punjab.” Instead, Pant was secured by Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) for ₹27 crore.
In a recent match on April 1, 2025, PBKS defeated LSG by eight wickets. Following this victory, PBKS posted a video of their captain, Shreyas Iyer, with the caption, “Tension toh auction mein hi khatam ho gayi thi!” (The tension ended in the auction itself), seemingly referencing Pant’s earlier remark.
This exchange highlights the competitive and spirited nature of the IPL, where on-field performances and off-field comments often intertwine.
