Rishabh Pant Agrees to Pay Cut for Trade from Lucknow Super Giants to Delhi Capitals

Analysed 19 Jun 2026·3 sources analysed·Lucknow, India·Sports
Rishabh Pant Agrees to Pay Cut for Trade from Lucknow Super Giants to Delhi CapitalsPreviousNext

India wicketkeeper-batter Rishabh Pant is reportedly set to move from Lucknow Super Giants to Delhi Capitals for IPL 2027, accepting a significant pay cut from his record Rs. 27 crore salary to around Rs. 15 crore. The trade discussions involve Kuldeep Yadav moving to Lucknow, with his salary expected to remain unchanged. Pant resigned as LSG captain after the team's last-place finish in IPL 2026, and his return to Delhi Capitals aims to strengthen their middle order.
