Cricket debates can get heated, but this time, things turned destructive. A YouTube show took a shocking turn when an enraged anchor smashed a TV screen live on air, venting his frustration over Rishabh Pant’s poor performance in the IPL 2025 match between Sunrisers Hyderabad and Lucknow Super Giants. The dramatic outburst wasn’t just about one bad innings—it was a culmination of mounting disappointment. Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) broke records by investing ₹27 crore in Pant at the IPL mega auction, expecting a match-winner. Instead, they’ve received inconsistency, frustrating both fans and experts. The host of the Sports Tak show got outraged, saying that Rishabh has wasted his chance in the IPL. He said, "IPL is happening, and he had his chance, but I'm telling you, he has become predictable. You cannot trust him. What kind of a captain is he? We don’t need a captain like him!" He then stood up and angrily flipped the glass table and smashed the studio TV. Within hours, the clip spread like wildfire across social media, fueling fresh debates on whether Pant was worth the price tag.

His six-ball duck against Delhi Capitals raised eyebrows, and his latest innings against Sunrisers Hyderabad failed to make an impact. Even his leadership is under question—his captaincy decisions and wicketkeeping have left much to be desired. Pant has long been a standout in Test cricket, where his fearless approach works wonders. But in T20s, the numbers tell a different story. His career strike rate of 127 doesn’t justify LSG’s massive investment, and his struggles this season have only worsened concerns. Despite his talent, pressure is mounting. With each match, scrutiny intensifies, and expectations grow heavier. LSG bet big on Pant, but can he rise to the occasion? Or will frustrations—both on and off the field—keep spiraling out of control?
