Sanjiv Goenka discovers LSG’s shocking failure and has a fierce chat with Rishabh Pant, KL Rahul plot surfaces
Rishabh Pant has had an ordinary day as captain and player in all departments that debuted in LSG. In a match that scored more than 420 times in one match and five batsmen had more than 200 strike rates, Pant managed a six-ball duck, defeated by Kuldeep Yadav.
After losing the Delhi capital in the IPL 2025 opener, Sanjiv Goenka, the owner of the Lucknow Super Giant, chats with Rishabh Pant. LSG scored 113 on the ropes in a 210 chase run, but Ashutosh Sharma scored a brilliant knock of 31 goals in Visakhapatnam on Monday (March 24) (March 24), which brought DC to a victory. Goenka spent Rs 27 crore in a currency in a large auction.
Rishabh Pant has had an ordinary day as captain and player in all departments that debuted in LSG. In a match that scored more than 420 times in one match and five batsmen had more than 200 strike rates, Pant managed a six-ball duck, defeated by Kuldeep Yadav. His captain and the performance behind the stump also failed to achieve the goal. Shardul Thakur, the most experienced bowler in the LSG unit, received only two wickets, but his first wicket received only two.
Despite the 22 runs required in the last two races, Pant chose the inexperienced Prince Yadav instead of Shardul Thakur. Yadav admitted to 16 runs, including 2 two quarters and 6. In the final match, needing a running ball, Pant turned surprisingly to the left-arm spinner Shahbaz Ahmed, abandoning Shardul, who successfully defended several of India’s final goals.
Pant missed a key opportunity for the final game, which could have changed the outcome of the game. Shahbaz Ahmed won a great birth and deceived DC’s Mohit Sharma, but Pant failed to collect the ball behind the stump when he changed direction after hitting Sharma’s back pad.
LSG boss Sanjiv Goenka may have suffered losses, who is believed to have an animation discussion with Pant. When Goenka lost, Goenka gave a fierce speech to then-LSG captain Kl Rahul, the incident brought back memories of IPL 2024.
Fans speculate that Rishabh Pant is accepting the same treatment KL Rahul receives in IPL 2025. However, the viral photo does not provide conclusive evidence of an animated dialogue between Pants and Ghoenka, suggesting that this may be just a discussion between two important franchise figures.
Therefore, any claim on the conflict between Sanjiv Goenka and Rishabh Pant is exaggerated and requires further context. At the moment, the two seem to be in good shape and are likely to make a comeback in the next game.
What did Rishabh Pant say after the game?
In a post-match speech, Pant said: “Of course, luckily played a role in this game, and if it might have missed his (Mohit Sharma’s) mat, it’s a hard time opportunity. But these things happen in cricket, you can’t focus on these things, but you need to play better cricket.”
Meanwhile, Rishabh Pant-led LSG will be in the next match on March 27 in Aginst Pat pat Leed SRH.
