The world's most popular cricket tournament, the Indian Premier League, is once again making headlines. A match was played between Delhi Capitals and Lucknow Super Giants which is being considered as the biggest thriller in IPL history. In this match, the Lucknow team captained by Rishabh Pant took 6 wickets of Delhi for 113 runs after scoring 209 runs but still lost the match. After the match, Lucknow team owner Sanjeev Goenka was seen discussing the defeat with captain Rishabh Pant. After seeing this, his argument with the previous captain KL Rahul was remembered.
Lucknow Super Giants franchise owner Sanjiv Goenka has a great passion for the game. He keeps an eye on every match and after the team's defeat, he also appears very aggressive. Last year, after the defeat of the Lucknow team, a video between him and former captain KL Rahul came out. Fans did not like his behavior with KL in this. Then Sanjiv Goenka handled the matter but everything did not go well between KL and the team. Now something similar was seen happening with the new captain Rishabh Pant. However, the scene here was not like KL but different from this.
When the Lucknow team added Rishabh Pant to their team in the mega auction by placing the highest bid of Rs 27 crore in the history of the tournament, everyone had the same question in their mind. Will Pant, like KL Rahul, also be questioned after the defeat? Well, this happened after the defeat in the first match itself. The captain spoke openly and he did not look disappointed or frustrated at all.
Rishabh Pant is not like KL Rahul
Team owner Sanjiv Goenka was seen questioning Pant but the scene here was different from KL Rahul. On one hand, the previous captain Rahul did not react much and he looked very disappointed, while Rishabh Pant answered every question of the franchise owner in his own way. He was full of confidence while talking after the match. It is not known how much he reassured Sanjiv but his face was telling that he was not under any kind of pressure.
