IPL In the 13th match of the 18th season, Lucknow Super Giants and Punjab Kings face to face, where Rishabh Pant’s team suffered an embarrassing defeat by 8 wickets. Playing first, LSG scored 171 runs losing 7 wickets. In response, Punjab achieved this target by losing two wickets in the 17th over.

After the end of the match, LSG team owner Sanjeev Goenka was seen talking to Shreyas Iyer. Fans are targeting Rishabh Pant on social media about this incident. After the defeat against PBKS, most of the attention of Sanjeev Goenka was not on his team, but the captain of the opposition team Shreyas Iyer. There was a long conversation between the two.

Sanjeev Goenka interacted with Shreyas Iyer after LSG vs PBKS match

Seeing the conversation of both, it seemed that Sanjeev Goenka Shreyas Iyer’s game and his captaincy had been very much impressed. After this, he also interacted with LSG captain Rishabh Pant. The disappointment of defeat on Pant’s face was clearly visible. However, after this, Sanjeev Goenka did not have much anger on his face, but the concern was definitely seen.

Significantly, LSG made Pant part of his team by spending Rs 27 crore in the mega auction for IPL 2025, but he has not been able to perform according to that price tag yet. Pant was dismissed on Duck in the first match against Delhi Capitals. After this, he was able to score only 8 runs in the match against Sunrisers Hyderabad.

At the same time, his bat remained calm against Punjab Kings and he returned to the pavilion after scoring just 2 runs. Pant is constantly facing criticism due to his poor performance.
