Rishabh Pant has failed with his tactics as captain too, failing on numerous occasions.
Akash Deep was bought for Rs 8 crore by LSG but has struggled with injuries throughout the season. "Definitely it could have been one of our best seasons but coming into the tournament we had a lot of gaps, injuries and as a team we decided to not talk about that, but it became difficult to fill those gaps for us," LSG captain Rishabh Pant said after Monday's match.
Akash Deep played in only 5 matches in IPL 2025 so far and claimed 3 wickets.
Rishabh Pant's LSG has high hopes from Delhi Ranji captain Ayush Badoni after buying him for Rs 4 crore at the IPL 2025 mega auction. Badoni has only scored 329 runs in 12 matches with 2 fifties.

"Will Cooperate": RCB Responds On FIR After Stampede At IPL Title Celebration
Under-fire IPL champion Royal Challengers Bengaluru on Thursday said it will co-operate with all the legal proceedings after an FIR was registered against it in connection with the stampede outside Chinnaswamy Stadium in which 11 people were killed. The FIR has been lodged against RCB, Karnataka State Cricket Association, and event management firm DNA Entertainment Networks. "We can't comment on legal proceedings at the moment. But we will co-operate with all the government and judicial authorities," informed a franchise source. The tragedy occurred when nearly two and half lakh people thronged the stadium to catch a glimpse of RCB cricketers after their maiden IPL trophy victory. The resultant chaos led to the death of 11 people, besides leaving several others injured on Wednesday. According to the police, the case was registered at Cubbon Park police station under sections 105 (culpable homicide not amounting to murder), 115 (voluntarily causing hurt), 118 (voluntarily causing hurt or grievous hurt by using dangerous weapons or means), 121 (voluntarily causing hurt or grievous hurt to deter public servant from his duty), 190 (liability of members of an unlawful assembly for offences committed in pursuit of a common object), 132 (assault or criminal force to deter a public servant from discharging their duty), and 125 (12) (acts endangering life or personal safety of others) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita. Earlier, the RCB announced a financial assistance of Rs 10 lakh each for the families of the 11 supporters, who lost their lives in the stampede. "As a mark of respect and a gesture of solidarity, RCB has announced a financial support of Rs 10 lakh to each of the eleven families of the deceased. In addition, a fund called RCB Cares is also being created to support fans injured in this tragic incident," the team has said in a statement. A magisterial inquiry is currently underway into the tragedy, and its report is expected within the next fortnight. RCB has drawn widespread criticism for going ahead with the victory celebrations just a day after their triumph, denying the administration and police authorities enough time to arrange adequate security measures needed for an event of such magnitude.

'Perfect Moment': Bhuvneshwar Kumar Salutes RCB Fans After First-Ever IPL Win
Bhuvneshwar picked up two wickets for RCB in the IPL 2025 final played against PBKS at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad on June 3. Bhuvneshwar Kumar dedicated Royal Challengers Bengaluru's maiden title victory on Tuesday, June 3, to the franchise's loyal supporters, who never gave up on them despite years of heartbreak in the Indian Premier League. The experienced RCB seamer saluted the team's emotional fanbase that kept filling the stands and sent prayers for the team's success. Bhuvneshwar also made a point to remember former RCB stars, including legends AB de Villiers and Chris Gayle, for their contributions. 'It means a lot. Everyone had been waiting for this moment for 17 years. With such a massive fanbase and so many prayers behind us, it's a perfect moment for us, for all the former RCB players, and everyone who's been a part of this journey," said the veteran quickly in a post-match interaction with Royal Challengers Bengaluru. In a video posted by the franchise, Bhuvneshwar hailed the fans for acting as a motivation to end the painstaking 18-year trophy drought. Released by his former franchise Sunrisers Hyderabad, Bhuvneshwar saw uncertainty ahead of him as his disappointing performances in IPL 2024 pulled the Indian seamer's stocks drastically. But his fortunes changed at the pre-season auction where RCB showed faith in the ageing IPL great with a bid of 10.75 crores. Known for his new-ball swing and death-overs expertise, Bhuvneshwar emerged as a dark horse in RCB's attack, taking 17 wickets in 14 matches and forming a great bowling duo with spearhead Josh Hazlewood. While Hazlewood got the accolades for picking 22 scalps in RCB's inspiring run, Bhuvneshwar once again played an underrated role, including in the final, where he took two crucial wickets of Punjab Kings batters Nahel Wadhera and Marcus Stoinis. The twin strikes curtailed the wings of a power-packed PBKS line-up that fell six runs short of ultimate glory after RCB had posted an imposing 190/9 in the high-pressure finale. Bhuvneshwar had played a similar role in Qualifier 1 versus the same opponent, dismissing in-form opener Prabhsimran Singh early to dismantle PBKS' plans. The 2016 and 2017 Purple Cap winner has a career IPL tally of 190 wickets to his name with an economy rate of only 7.69. First Published: June 05, 2025, 23:58 IST
