IPL 2026: Top 3 LSG batters to watch out for
LSG possesses one of the most destructive top fours in the entire tournament who can change the complexion of the game in their favour.
2. Rishabh Pant
Similar to Marsh, Rishabh Pant is set to play in only his second season for LSG. The wicketkeeper-batter will return as his side’s captain in 2026 with a weight of expectations on his shoulders. Despite scoring a hundred during the 2025 IPL, Pant had a disappointing season based on his lofty standards as he only scored 269 runs at an average of 24.45.
Despite a slow start to his LSG career, Pant is a reliable middle order player, capable of pacing his innings based on the situation. The 28-year-old will come into bat after a host of superstar overseas batters and will also be tasked to protect the Indian batters in the squad like Abdul Samad and Ayush Badoni.
