Punjab Kings defeated Lucknow Supergiants by 8 wickets. In this way, they registered their second win in the tournament. Rishabh Pant once again performed poorly for Lucknow Supergiants. Pant was dismissed after scoring 2 runs in the match against Punjab. During this, Sunil Gavaskar said something about Pant on live TV.

On live TV, the presenter asked Sunil Gavaskar whether the Lucknow Supergiants team is batting aggressively due to the lack of good bowlers. Responding to this question, Gavaskar said, "I wish you had asked me this question some time ago. Because I have spent a lot of time with Rishabh Pant and I would ask him if this is the reason why you guys are playing like this. Maybe he used to say stupidity… a stupid question.

Gavaskar further said I think when you look at Nicholas Pooran and Mitchell Marsh, they are naturally aggressive players. I think they play in the same way and it is very exciting to watch. Then Rishabh Pant also comes in the lower order. So he has a good batting line-up. Look, if you don't have your fast bowlers, you need to put more runs on the board so that your bowlers get enough support if they have a good day.

This IPL has not been very good for Lucknow Supergiants so far. They have played 3 matches so far out of which they have won only 1. They have lost two matches. Their net run rate is also in minus. Let us tell you that Lucknow's next match is against Mumbai Indians on April 4. It will be interesting to see which team wins this match.
