Punjab people made a pitch: Zaheer Khan, raging on curator after defeat, gave such a statement

IPL 2025: Lucknow Super Giants suffered an embarrassing defeat against Punjab Kings in the last match. The team had scored 171 runs while batting first, which was easily chased by the team of Shreyas Iyer. This is the second defeat of Lucknow this season and is 6th in the team points table.

After the end of the match, Lucknow Super Giants Mentor Zaheer Khan has raised questions about the pitch of Ekana Cricket Stadium. Giving a big statement, he said that he feels that the pitch has been prepared by the curator of Punjab.

It was a bit disappointing for me- Zaheer Khan

Zaheer Khan spoke at the post match press conference after the defeat against Punjab Kings, saying,

“Was a little disappointing for me, because it’s a home match. In the IPL, you have seen how the teams try to get a little home advantage, you know, so yes, from that point of view, you have seen that the curator is not really thinking that it’s a home match. I think perhaps Punjab’s curator has prepared the pitch.

Let me tell you, this is not the first time this season is that an IPL franchise has raised questions about its homeground pitch. Earlier, Kolkata Knight Riders and Chennai Super Kings have also raised questions about the pitch.

Zaheer Khan further said,

“This is something that we will understand. This is a new setup for me too. But I hope this will be the first and last game, because you are also disappointing the fans of Lucknow. They have brought great expectations to win the first home match here. As a team, we are confident, we are confident, we know that we have lost the match, and we are going to do what we are going to do to create that effect in the home leg. There are games. “
