Rishabh Pant hilariously failed to make a head or tail call

The wicketkeeper-batter eventually won the toss after it was conducted twice.

The highlight of the evening saw Rishabh Pant struggling to follow the simple head or tail call after Riyan Parag had already flipped the coin for the toss at the Sawai Mansingh Stadium in Jaipur on Saturday, April 19, in an IPL 2025 match between Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) and Rajasthan Royals (RR). The wicketkeeper-batter eventually won the toss after it was conducted twice.

In a video shared by IPL's official handle on X, Pant can be seen laughing, telling Parag that he should've waited for his call before flipping the toss coin. The two captains shared a laugh. Notably, there was seemingly no fault from the Royals' skipper in the first place.

On the batting front, Rishabh Pant returned to form in his last game. The left-hander scored 63 runs off 49 balls against the Chennai Super Kings (CSK). This was his first half-century for the Lucknow-based franchise, which bought him for a whopping INR 27 crore at the IPL 2025 mega auction, making him the costliest IPL player of all time. He will be keen to continue his good form in the remainder of the season.

The Super Giants made a solitary change as Akash Deep made way for Prince Yadav in the playing XI. Like LSG, RR made one change as regular skipper Sanju Samson missed the game due to a rib injury he sustained in the last game against the Delhi Capitals (DC). Vaibhav Suryavanshi has replaced Samson in the impact substitutes list.

The Royals will be keen to return to winning ways after managing just two wins in the first seven league games. They lost to the Capitals in a Super Over thriller in their previous outing.

On the other hand, LSG have four victories in seven games. Like RR, they also lost their last game against five-time champions CSK.
