After a nail-biting IPL 2025 opener, Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) owner SanjivGoenka was seen engaging in a lengthy discussion with captain Rishabh Pant and head coach Justin Langer following their one-wicket loss to Delhi Capitals (DC) on March 24, 2025. The match, held at the Dr. Y.S. Rajasekhara Reddy ACA-VDCA Cricket Stadium in Visakhapatnam, saw DC chase down a daunting target of 210 runs, with Ashutosh Sharma’s remarkable innings of 66 runs off just 31 balls leading the charge.

Goenka’s conversation with Pant sparked speculation among fans, reminiscent of a previous incident involving former captain KL Rahul. However, LSG later clarified that the discussion was constructive rather than confrontational. Following their chat, Goenka addressed the entire team, emphasizing the positives from the match despite the disappointing outcome.

Pant had a challenging debut for LSG, scoring a duck and missing a crucial stumping opportunity. Despite LSG’s strong position at 161/2, they faltered after losing key wickets. Goenka highlighted the need to focus on the positives and learn from their mistakes as they prepare for their next match on March 27, hoping for a better result.
