However, despite seeking guidance from the legendary southpaw ahead of the season, Pant has continued to endure a lean run with the bat in IPL 2026. In nine innings of the tournament, the attacking left-hander has aggregated just 204 runs at a below par average of 25.50, scoring 68 of those runs in a single game against the SRH. Moreover, even as leader Pant has failed to inspire any confidence as the LSG franchise is currently placed at the bottom of the IPL 2026 points table. Shubman Gill and Abhishek Sharma make the most of their prolific run Shubman Gill and Abhishek Sharma, meanwhile, seem to be making the most of their prolific IPL form with another productive season for their respective franchises. While Gill has aggregated 378 runs in nine innings of the tournament at a splendid average of 42, Sharma has charted 440 runs in 10 innings at an average of 48.88 and with an explosive strike rate of 206.57. Both Gujarat Titans and SRH franchises are also ranked among the top five sides of the IPL 2026 season at the moment.Also Read- Josh Inglis Out Injured? LSG Strongest XI vs RCB- IPL 2026, Match 50
