With only two wins in eight matches, the team sits at a precarious position. Former players have already begun to suggest that it might be time for a leadership change. Manoj Tiwary even stated, “Rishabh Pant should be released from captaincy pressure,” highlighting the toll this season has taken on him both as a leader and a player.

Pant has managed to score 204 runs in nine matches, but his highest score this season is just 68 not out. The pressure of captaincy seems to be affecting his game—Tiwary noted, “I feel that, under the pressure of captaincy, we are losing Pant the batter.” This raises an important question: can he regain his form while juggling the demands of leading a struggling team?

The backdrop to this turmoil is significant. Before IPL 2025, Rishabh Pant became the most expensive player in IPL history when picked by LSG for INR 27 crore. Expectations were sky-high. Yet now, as they prepare to face the Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) on May 7, 2026, doubts linger over whether he can turn things around.

Sanjiv Goenka, LSG’s owner, recently expressed hope for West Bengal’s future after the BJP’s election victory, stating, “The dreams, hopes, and aspirations of the people of Bengal have been reignited with this unprecedented result.” However, it remains unclear how this political success will translate into cricketing victories for LSG.

As LSG looks ahead to its next match against RCB, questions abound regarding strategy and leadership. Will Rishabh Pant manage to find his footing before it’s too late? Or will the mounting pressure lead to further calls for change?
