The caravan of Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025 has now arrived at Lucknow’s Ekana Stadium for the match between Lucknow Super Giants and Punjab Kings. This will be an interesting match as it will feature two of the most expensive players in IPL history going toe-to-toe against each other.
Rishabh Pant (Rs 27 crore) will be seen leading LSG, while Shreyas Iyer (Rs 26.75 crore) will be calling the shots for PBKS. Since LSG is one of the new franchises alongside GT in the league, they do not have a long historical rivalry record against the Punjab-based franchise, as these two sides have only crossed paths four times in the last three seasons. However, despite that, there have been some exceptional individual performances recorded in their matches against each other. Today, we will take a look at some of these best performers who lead the charts of top run scorers and wicket takers in the LSG vs PBKS matches.
