The captaincy on Rishabh Pant, Lucknow can become the new captain of Super Giants.

Lucknow: Lucknow Super Giants captain Rishabh Pant continues poorly in IPL 2025. He is the most expensive player in the history of the league, which is priced at Rs 27 crore. Pant has scored just 19 runs in four matches so far. He was also dismissed cheaply in the match against Mumbai Indians. After just two runs, he returned to the pavilion. Pant’s poor performance has also affected Lucknow’s team. The team has lost two of their first three matches. The team ranks 7th in the points table. Many fans are demanding to change their captaincy. The team owner Sanjeev Goenka has supported him, but the fans are questioning his captaincy and price. There are many more players in the team to become captains.

The power to become captain in Eden Markram

Aden Markram is a strong contender to become the captain of Lucknow. He took South Africa to the finals of the T20 World Cup in 2024. He has different formats and plays playing in leagues. He won the World Cup to South Africa’s Under-19 team in 2014. He has also won the SA20 title to Sunrisers Eastern Cape in 2023 and 2024. In 2025, under his captaincy, the team reached the SA20 final. However, his IPL captaincy with Sunrisers Hyderabad in 2023 did not have good experience. He won only four matches out of 13. However, his captaincy record in T20I is good. The percentage of his victory is 46%.

Mitchell Marsh also strongly claimed

Mitchell Marsh is the captain of Australia’s T20I team. He has a lot of experience in leading the team. Marsh’s record has been good since assuming Australia’s T20I captaincy in 2023. He won the World Cup to Australia’s Under-19 team in 2010. He has also been the captain of Perth Scorcor in BBL matches. The all-rounder also gave Western Australia the Marsh Cup title in 2017-18. He was purchased for 3.4 crores in the IPL auction. They are in good form.
