The most expensive century in IPL history, Rishabh Pant's one run cost 10 lakhs, Sanjiv Goenka's 27 crores went down the drain..

When Sanjiv Goenka bought Rishabh Pant by placing a huge bid of Rs 27 crore in the mega auction of the Indian Premier League, he must have had many dreams. But by the end of the season, the Lucknow Supergiants franchise lost all that money.

One run worth Rs 10.03 lakh

You will be surprised to know that one run scored by Rishabh Pant in the current season of IPL cost the team Rs 10 lakh 30 thousand. In IPL, where many players found buyers for their base price of Rs 20 lakh-30 lakh, Pant took Rs 10 lakh for scoring one run. This deal proved to be very expensive for Lucknow.

Most expensive century in IPL history

In this way, Rishabh Pant not only became the most expensive player in the IPL auction but he also charged the highest amount for scoring one run. Rishabh Pant scored at an average of 133.17 in IPL 2025, which is much lower than his 2018 peak (173.60). His average (24.45) also surprised people, sparking a debate on his cost-effectiveness.

Scored runs in the 14th after flopping in 13 matches

Rishabh Pant scored 118 runs in his 14th and last match of the season after scoring just 151 runs in 13 matches, but the team lost in that too. With more than 125 IPL matches and 3553 runs, LSG made Pant the captain. Gave him the role of finisher, but Pant proved to be a flop badly.

The team lost despite the century.
Talking about the match, the Super Giants scored 227 runs for three wickets based on captain Rishabh Pant's unbeaten innings of 118 runs, but RCB successfully set its record of the biggest target in this league by scoring 230 runs for four wickets in 18.4 overs. RCB also set the record of winning seven consecutive matches on the home ground of another team.
