Rishabh Pant Sanjeev Goenka Viral Video: Lucknow Supergiants started with a defeat in the Indian Premier League 2026. Lucknow was defeated by Delhi Capitals by 6 wickets on their home ground. After the first defeat of the season, team captain Rishabh Pant and owner Sanjiv Goenka looked quite disappointed.

After the end of the match, Goenka was seen having a serious conversation with coach Justin Langer and Pant. During that time, it seemed from the expression on Pant’s face that the owner was not satisfied with the team’s performance.

Such incident happened with KL Rahul

For this reason, discussion again started on social media whether something similar to what happened with KL Rahul in 2024 is happening with Pant also. Although it cannot be clearly said from the viral pictures that Goenka was scolding Rishabh Pant, but it definitely shows that he is not happy with the start of the team.

LSG’s batting flop
