India is playing the second test of the Border Gavaskar Trophy at Adelaide on December 6, where former Australian Head Coach Justin Langer reckons how he used to get haunded of Rishabh Pant during the last two BGT series. Langer has been in the commentary panel of Fox Cricket, and while Pant was batting, he said, "Rishabh Pant has haunted me the most from the last two series. Now a week ago, I hope he’s my favourite person in the world with the Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) picking him. Now he’s my mate not my nemesis." Lucknow Super Giants has bought Pant for INR 27 crores in the 2025 IPL Mega Auction. LSG has released KL Rahul, and Pant is expected to lead the team. Langer was a part of the Australian dugout for so long and has been the head coach of LSG.

His 96 on Day 5 of the Sydney Test helped India secure a draw, keeping the series tied at 1-1. In the final Test at Brisbane, Pant’s unbeaten 89 guided India to a historic chase of 328, ending Australia’s 32-year unbeaten streak at the Gabba. This victory clinched India’s second consecutive series win in Australia under coach Justin Langer. Langer likened Pant’s Brisbane heroics to Ben Stokes’ iconic Headingley innings during the 2019 Ashes, underscoring the southpaw’s match-winning brilliance. India struggled in the first inning, having Nitish Reddy scoring 42 runs, the highest for the team. Rishabh Pant scored 21 runs off 35 balls before being dismissed by a surprise short ball from Pat Cummins, caught by McSweeney. India were all out at 180 in the first innings.
