Pant Talks About IPL’s Impact on Players' National Focus
Pant shares how IPL shifts players' priorities from national duty to franchise goals.
Rishabh Pant shared his thoughts on how IPL affects players' priorities, particularly when they start putting their club interests above national duty. Pant, who has been named the captain of Lucknow Super Giants for IPL 2025, expressed his views on the shift in priorities of modern players.
Stating that his childhood dream was to play for India, Pant emphasized that many players today are more focused on IPL. "If your goal is to play for your country, IPL will eventually fall into place," he said. Pant believes that having a bigger mindset leads to success and shared how he managed to make his debut for the national team at the age of 18.
In the upcoming IPL season, Pant will lead Lucknow Super Giants after being bought for INR 27 crores.
