DC vs LSG IPL 2025 – Sanjiv Goenka -Rishabh Pant: First KL Rahul, Now Rishabh Pant … LSG Malik Sanjeev Goenka saw the condition of 27 crores in front of Sanjeev Goenka Kl Rahul Incident Lucknow Super Giant Delhi Capitals Tspok

Sanjiv goenka-rishabh pant controversy: Sanjeev Goenka, owner of Lucknow Super Giants (LSG), included Rishabh Pant in the team by spending a record of Rs 27 crore in the mega auction. But Rishabh Pant’s performance was extremely disrespectful in the first match with the franchise. He could not do anything as a batsman in the match and was dismissed at 0.

Later in the last over, he missed the stumping, if it had not happened, Lucknow would have won this match. Pant was seen talking to the Delhi Capitals (DC) (LSG) in his first match of IPL 2025, talking to the wicketkeeper-batsman soon after the defeat.

In front of the dugout, LSG owner Sanjeev Goenka was seen questioning Rishabh. The one who reminded KL Rahul of the scolding last year.

The LSG could not win the match despite DC falling six wickets for 113 runs chasing the target of 210 runs. Ashutosh Sharma played the best innings (66* runs off 31 balls) under pressure in Visakhapatnam on Monday (March 24) and won Delhi with one wicket and three balls remaining.

Pant made his debut in LSG as captain and player and his performance in all the decreements was confused. In a match where more than 420 runs were scored and five batsmen batted at more than 200 strike rates, where Pant was dismissed for zero on six balls.

He was dismissed by former DC team partner Kuldeep Yadav. Their captaincy and performance behind the stump were also not good. LSG unit’s most experienced bowler Shardul Thakur was given only two overs despite taking two wickets in his first over. This raised questions on Pant’s performance.

Where did the lapse under Pant’s captaincy?

When Dilli needed 22 runs in the last two overs, Pant still gave the ball to inexperienced Prince Yadav instead of Shardul. Where 16 runs came in his over including two fours and a six. To score a run in the last over, Pant handed the ball to left hand spinner Shahbaz Ahmed, while Shardul would have been a better option.

Pant said after the match- Surely there is a role of luck in cricket and if the ball is missed by him (Mohit Sharma), it would have been a stumping opportunity, but such things are happening in the game of cricket, you cannot pay attention to these things, but you need to play better cricket.
