IPL 2026: ‘We paid the price for that…’, whom did the LSG captain blame for the defeat? This reason became the reason for the crushing defeat

IPL 2026 RCB vs LSG: Lucknow Supergiants team has faced a shameful defeat in the match against RCB. Batting first, the team collapsed for just 146 runs. After this, RCB won the match with 29 balls remaining. This was the fourth win of this season for RCB and the team has reached the top of the points table with points. After this crushing defeat, the team’s standby captain Nicholas Puran looked quite disappointed. After the match was over, let us also tell you on whose shoulders he blamed the defeat.

Bad batting became the reason for defeat

Lucknow Supergiants captain Rishabh Pant got badly injured while batting in this match. After this, Nicholas Puran was seen captaining the team in the match. After the match was over, he termed the defeat as a complete failure of the batsmen. He said, “It is a difficult season for us, we have not been able to do well so far. A score of 175 runs could have been worth fighting for. There is no doubt that our team is struggling in batting, for which we paid the price today. We will try our best to bounce back from this.”

As convincing as it gets🙌

A comfortable 5️⃣-wicket win and @RCBTweets remain unbeaten at home✌️

Puran’s bat has also been completely silent this season. Regarding this he says, “I am feeling good and am able to hit the ball well but the tournament has not gone my way yet. This has happened before also. I know how to fight this situation. I have faith in myself that I will come back from this.”

LSG could not survive anywhere in the match

Lucknow Supergiants team was seen lagging behind in every department in this match. While batting, no batsman of the team could score a half-century. Opener Mitchell Marsh was the highest scorer by scoring 40 runs in 32 balls. While 2 batsmen could not even open their account, 3 batsmen could score only one run. Captain Rishabh Pant’s bat once again remained silent and he scored only 1 run. Along with this, his elbow injury has now doubled the tension of the team. The team is at number 7 in the points table with 2 wins and 4 points.
