IPL 2025: LSG captain Rishabh Pant has sent warning signals to all the franchises ahead of the next edition of the Indian Premier League. During an interview, Rishabh Pant opened up about his close bond with Nicholas Pooran. Pant said that Nicholas Pooran used to check on him during his life-threatening accident recovery back in 2022.
“Pooran is my close friend; I have a very old relationship with him. During my injury, we used to talk, and he used to ask if I was doing fine or not. That relationship is always there,” Pant said on Star Sports.

Apart from Rishabh Pant, LSG also roped in South Africa’s hard-hitter David Miller in the squad for IPL 2025. “Miller has been phenomenal with the kind of experience he has had during the last five years; it is amazing, finishing the game. If you have all three of them, phir to definitely tabahi hai. Hamari team mein saare tabahi player hai bhai (In our team, all players are destructive),” Pant added.
