Lucknow Super Giants Confirm Rishabh Pant Will Remain Captain for IPL 2026
The Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) have officially confirmed that Rishabh Pant will continue to lead the franchise in the IPL 2026 season, putting an end to speculation regarding a potential change in leadership. Rumors had circulated that Australian T20I captain Mitchell Marsh, who was also retained, might be handed the reins following LSG's disappointing seventh-place finish in IPL 2025.
Despite the team's struggles last season, which saw them fail to qualify for the playoffs, the franchise has publicly backed Pant, who was the costliest player in the league's history after being acquired for INR 27 crore. LSG's confirmation signals confidence in Pant's long-term leadership potential, despite his mixed performance in the previous campaign.
LSG has retained a strong core of players, including Nicholas Pooran
