After eight seasons, countless memories, and a captaincy stint with Delhi Capitals, Rishabh Pant will walk out in Visakhapatnam this evening wearing different colours for the very first time.

Now the face of the Lucknow Super Giants following a record-shattering Rs 27 crore (Rs 270 million) deal at the Jeddah auction, Pant returns not as a prodigal son, but as a powerful opponent who knows every corner of the DC setup.
