Bought for a staggering INR 27 crore at the IPL mega auction, Pant was expected to lead LSG to success. However, his performance has fallen short of expectations, managing just 17 runs in three matches. The mounting pressure of his hefty price tag, combined with his inability to deliver on the field, has fueled the scrutiny surrounding him.
The trolling has extended beyond his batting, with questions raised about his leadership abilities as LSG’s captain. To make matters worse, old comments made by Pant about Punjab Kings resurfaced, where he had admitted to being nervous about their record auction purse, as he only wanted to be picked by LSG. These remarks have only added to the memes mocking his current struggles.
