DC vs LSG: Sanjiv Goenka’s Viral Chat with Rishabh Pant After LSG’s Defeat Reminds Fans of KL Rahul Saga
Sanjiv Goenka was seen in a serious conversation with Rishabh Pant after LSG’s loss to DC, reminding fans of his past exchange with KL Rahul.
The IPL 2024 season was remembered not just for cricket but also for the controversy involving Lucknow Super Giants‘ owner Sanjiv Goenka and then-captain KL Rahul. After a heavy defeat to Sunrisers Hyderabad, Goenka was seen having a tense exchange with Rahul, which went viral on social media.
The incident sparked debates about the LSG owner’s management style. A year later, history seems to be repeating itself. In LSG’s opening match of IPL 2025, Rishabh Pant’s team suffered a heartbreaking one-wicket loss to Delhi Capitals in Visakhapatnam.
Despite being in a strong position, LSG couldn’t defend their total, as Ashutosh Sharma played a match-winning knock to turn the game in Delhi’s favor.
After the match, Goenka was once again seen in a serious discussion with his captain, Rishabh Pant. While it is unclear whether he was expressing frustration or offering words of support, the viral image of their conversation has reignited talks about Goenka’s tough approach towards team leadership.
