IPL 2026: Sanjeev Goenka had a heated conversation with LSG captain Rishabh Pant after the loss to Delhi, video went viral…

Lucknow. In the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2026 match played on Wednesday (April 1), Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) lost to Delhi Capitals (DC) by 6 wickets. In this match held at Bharat Ratna Shri Atal Bihari Vajpayee Ekana Cricket Stadium, Lucknow, Lucknow Super Giants had given a target of 142 runs to Delhi Capitals to win, which proved to be inadequate.

Delhi Capitals had a very bad start. The team had lost 4 wickets till the score of only 26 runs and it seemed that the match would be one-sided. But from here Sameer Rizvi and Tristan Stubbs did wonders. Both the batsmen handled the first innings and then counterattacked the Lucknow bowlers and made a match-winning partnership of 119* runs.

‘Impact Sub’ Sameer Rizvi scored unbeaten 70 runs on 47 balls, while Tristan Stubbs played an important inning of 39 not out runs on 32 balls. On the strength of these two, Delhi achieved the target in 17.1 overs.

‘Tension’ visible on the field after Lucknow’s defeat

After the end of the match, Lucknow Super Giants owner Sanjeev Goenka, captain Rishabh Pant and coach Justin Langer were seen having a deep discussion on the field. In the video viral on social media, Goenka was seen saying something to both of them, while Rishabh Pant was also seen expressing his views. This conversation has given rise to many speculations among the fans. Whether this was a discussion about strategy or anger over the defeat, it is difficult to guess.

Lucknow Super Giants had a great start in bowling. Mohammed Shami dismissed KL Rahul for a golden duck on the very first ball in his debut match for Lucknow Super Giants. After this, Mohsin Khan and Prince Yadav also pushed Delhi on the backfoot by taking wickets, but after this the bowlers of Lucknow Super Giants could not maintain the grip on the match and this became the biggest reason for their defeat.

Winning the match by 26/4 was a big moment for Delhi Capitals, whereas this defeat left many questions for Lucknow Super Giants. Delhi Capitals will face Mumbai Indians (MI) in their second match on 4 April. Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) will face Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) on April 5.
