Rishabh Pant seems to be making his presence felt ahead of IPL 2025 as he gears up for a much-awaited return to competitive cricket. In a video shared by Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) on X (formerly Twitter), Pant was seen executing a stunning helicopter shot in the nets — a stroke famously associated with MS Dhoni. LSG cheekily captioned the post, “Where have we seen that before 😉”, sparking excitement and nostalgia among fans.

Pant, who was roped in by LSG at a record-breaking price during the IPL 2025 mega auction, has now become the centerpiece of the team’s new era. This marks a significant comeback for the star wicketkeeper-batter, who had been out of action for over a year following a life-threatening car accident in December 2022. With a long rehabilitation behind him, Pant looks ready to dominate the season.
The video of his helicopter shot has since gone viral, thrilling fans and drawing comparisons with Dhoni’s legendary finishing skills. With Pant leading a recharged LSG squad, the excitement around the franchise’s campaign this year is already sky-high.
