To keep Pant, the Delhi Capitals had previously used their RTM (Right to Match) card at ₹27 crore. However, Lucknow raised the price to Rs 27 crore in response, which forced DC to back out.
With this historic acquisition, Pant broke the record established just seconds before by Shreyas Iyer, who was acquired by the Punjab Kings for ₹26.75 crore.
According to Shashwat Goenka, LSG, no matter how much you prepare, things don't always go as planned. Getting Pant for Rs 27 crore was a great fit for our plan. We just needed a number, not a mystical one to prevent the RTM from being executed.
KL At the IPL mega auction in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, Rahul was purchased by the Delhi Capitals for ₹14 crore. Rahul became Delhi's second auction acquisition after fierce rivalry in the bidding battle caused the Chennai Super Kings and Kolkata Knight Riders to raise the price before Delhi won the deal.
After guiding the Lucknow Super Giants for three seasons since joining the team in 2022, Rahul was let go earlier this year. The 32-year-old played for Punjab Kings, Sunrisers Hyderabad, and Royal Challengers Bangalore before joining LSG.
Rahul has 4,683 runs in 132 IPL games, making him an experienced player. He is a reliable right-handed hitter and has been a regular member of the Indian national squad in all three game types.
At Sunday's Indian Premier League (IPL) auction, which took place at the Abady Al-Johar Arena in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, Shreyas Iyer, who led the Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) to their IPL title victory the previous season, was sold to PBKS for Rs 26.75 crore, making him the most expensive signing in IPL history. But a few seconds later, when LSG lavished Rs 27 crore on Rishabh Pant, he smashed his record.
