Sanjiv Goenka, owner of the Lucknow Super Giants (LSG), has garnered attention for his heartfelt support towards skipper Rishabh Pant following the team's fourth consecutive loss in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2026. After LSG's disappointing 40-run defeat to the Rajasthan Royals, Goenka was seen comforting Pant, which resonated with fans on social media. Currently sitting at the ninth position in the IPL standings, LSG's chances of making the playoffs appear slim. In the match, LSG struggled to chase a target of 160 runs, collapsing for just 119 runs in 18 overs. Pant, who was dismissed for a duck, admitted that the batting unit has been underperforming and stressed the importance of finding solutions within the team. Despite the challenges, he expressed optimism about their ability to turn the situation around, highlighting the talent available in both the batting and bowling departments.
