The fourth match of IPL 2025 between Delhi Capitals (DC) and Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) in Visakhapatnam turned out to be a last-over thriller. LSG, who seemed on course for a comfortable win, failed to defend their target of 210 runs and lost by one wicket. After the match, an interaction between LSG owner Sanjiv Goenka and DC captain Rishabh Pant caught everyone's attention.
Following LSG's loss, franchise owner Sanjiv Goenka was seen engaging in a long discussion with Pant on the field. This moment quickly gained traction on social media, sparking speculation about what was being discussed. Head coach Justin Langer was also present during the conversation.
Goenka’s post-match interactions have been in the spotlight before. In IPL 2024, he was seen having a heated exchange with then-LSG captain KL Rahul after a heavy defeat against Sunrisers Hyderabad. The incident led to rumors of discord within the franchise, and Rahul parted ways with LSG before IPL 2025.
In the game, LSG posted a competitive total of 209/8, with Nicholas Pooran scoring 75 and Mitchell Marsh adding 72 runs. Despite a shaky start where DC lost five wickets for just 65 runs, Ashutosh Sharma played a match-winning knock of 66* off 31 balls, leading his team to a remarkable victory.
The viral video of Goenka and Pant’s conversation has left fans speculating—was it just a casual chat or a serious discussion regarding the game? No official statements have been made regarding the interaction yet.
