However, as LSG prepares to take on Mumbai Indians on April 4, Pant has an opportunity not only to get back in form but also to etch his name in the record books.
Despite his recent struggles with the bat, Pant remains a dynamic player capable of changing the course of a match single-handedly. With several key milestones within his grasp, the upcoming game against MI could prove to be a turning point in his campaign.
Let’s take a look at the records Rishabh Pant can achieve in the LSG vs MI IPL 2025 match.

1. 8 Fours Away from 350 T20 Fours in India
Pant is on the verge of joining an elite list of Indian cricketers who have smashed 350 fours in T20s played on Indian soil. As of now, only a handful of Indian batters have crossed this milestone, and Pant needs just eight more boundaries to become the fourth Indian to achieve this feat.
Known for his fearless strokeplay, Pant has the ability to dispatch even the best bowlers to the ropes. If he finds his touch in the upcoming match, reaching this milestone could be a mere formality. Facing a strong Mumbai Indians bowling lineup, Pant will look to capitalize on any loose deliveries and get back into his usual aggressive mode.
2. 4 Boundaries Short of 300 IPL Fours
In the IPL, Pant has been one of the most consistent performers over the years. The left-hander needs just four more fours to complete 300 boundaries in IPL history. This will place him among some of the most prolific stroke-makers in the tournament’s history.
Achieving this milestone would also put him ahead of Shreyas Iyer in the all-time list and just below Shubman Gill, highlighting his consistency as a boundary hitter. If Pant can rediscover his touch, this record should fall in no time during the clash against MI.
3. 2 Dismissals Away from 50 T20 Captaincy Dismissals
As a wicketkeeper, Rishabh Pant has showcased sharp reflexes and excellent game awareness behind the stumps. As a captain, his ability to contribute with crucial dismissals adds even more value to his role.
Currently, he is just two dismissals (catches or stumpings) away from reaching 50 T20 dismissals as a captain. This achievement would underline his dual role as both a leader and a specialist wicketkeeper.
With LSG’s strong spin attack featuring Ravi Bishnoi and Krunal Pandya, Pant is likely to get multiple chances to add to his tally of dismissals. His quick glovework could prove to be the difference-maker, especially on a pitch that assists turn.
A Crucial Match for Pant and LSG
Apart from these records, Pant will be eager to regain his batting form and lead his team to victory. LSG has had mixed performances in IPL 2025, and as their leader, Pant’s form will be crucial in setting the tone for the rest of the season.
With these major milestones within reach, all eyes will be on Rishabh Pant when he steps onto the field against Mumbai Indians. Will he turn his IPL 2025 campaign around with a memorable performance? Stay tuned!
