Rishabh Pant: After parting ways with Lucknow Super Giants, Rishabh Pant wrote a three-word goodbye message for the franchise.

Rishabh Pant's goodbye message for LSG: Rishabh Pant left Lucknow Super Giants (LSG). On Tuesday (June 23), the IPL officially announced Pant's return to the Delhi Capitals (DC). The release stated that Pant returned to Delhi via a trade deal, and Indian spinner Kuldeep Yadav joined Lucknow in his place. Now, after leaving Lucknow, Pant said goodbye to the franchise in just three words.

Pant was acquired by Lucknow for ₹27 crore in the mega auction for the 2025 season. This made him the most expensive player in IPL history. Pant was appointed captain, but the team failed to qualify for the playoffs in both seasons under his captaincy. After this, the relationship between Pant and Lucknow gradually deteriorated.

First, he left the captaincy, then separated from the team.

Following Lucknow 's elimination from IPL 2026, the franchise officially announced that Pant had voluntarily resigned from the captaincy, which was accepted with immediate effect. However, some reports subsequently claimed that Pant had not resigned from the captaincy himself, but was removed. Shortly thereafter, Pant parted ways with the franchise and returned to his former team, Delhi.

You've often seen players become emotional when they leave a team and write lengthy posts on social media, but Pant didn't do that. He wrote a simple three-word message, saying goodbye to the team. Pant shared a story on Instagram, writing, "Thank you, team."
