Rishabh Pant has had a poor start in IPL 2025. He has failed to shine in batting, while his captaincy has also not been impressive either.
Rishabh Pant has had a poor start in IPL 2025. He has failed to shine in batting, while his captaincy has also not been impressive either. Pant has scored only 17 runs across three matches in the ongoing season. To add insult to injury, his team Lucknow Super Giants have lost two of the three games. The franchise owner Sanjiv Goenka, who has developed a reputation of asking questions to his team's captains, was involved in intense chats after the defeats LSG suffered in IPL 2025. Last year, Goenka had come under fire for verbally bashing KL Rahul after the then LSG captain had suffered an embarrassing loss to Sunrisers Hyderabad. I don't know the discussion between Rishab ad Mr Sanjiv's Goenka . All this can happened inside.Let boys enjoy the game let them play freely.20/20 cricket very unpredictable.
As soon as videos of Goenka's intense chat with Pant after LSG's defeats in IPL 2025 surfaced, many fans started comparing it to his viral conversation with Rahul from last season.
LSG's most recent defeat in IPL 2025, that came against Punjab Kings, was no exception as Goenka was once again involved in a serious discussion with Pant.
Former India pacer Madan Lal, who is also the 1983 World Cup-winner, has shared a piece of advice for Goenka. He has asked him to let the boys play freely and also have such discussions away from the public eye.
"I don't know the discussion between Rishab and Mr Sanjiv's Goenka. All this can happen inside. Let boys enjoy the game let them play freely.20/20 cricket very unpredictable," wrote Madan Lal on X.
