LSG's Pant struggles despite record price tag

LSG are facing pressure after losing six of their eight matches in IPL 2026, with Pant managing only 189 runs in eight matches at an average of 27.00 and a strike rate of 126.84. Bowling coach Bharat Arun dismissed concerns about Pant's form, stating it's just "a question of one innings away from getting back his form."

Arun also addressed concerns about other players, confirming Mayank Yadav is fully fit and praising Mohammed Shami's mindset. He highlighted the contributions of young quicks Prince Yadav and Mohsin Khan, noting the franchise has carefully managed Mohsin's workload for a strong comeback. afnews.co.za
