The Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) registered an 8-wicket defeat to the Punjab Kings (PBKS) on Tuesday. It was a poor performance overall from the Lucknow-based franchise who were far behind the opposition in both the batting and bowling departments throughout the match.

One of the main disappointments for LSG in their first 3 games of the season has undoubtedly been Rishabh Pant, who isn’t looking on track to justify his price tag of INR 27 crore. The wicketkeeper-batter has been misfiring both with the bat and as captain.

Goenka has developed a reputation of asking questions to his team’s captains. In the past, even KL Rahul had to face Goenka’s wrath on the field over the team’s defeats. Pant had a similar meeting with the LSG owner following the side’s defeat to PBKS.

During his argument with Pant after the match on Tuesday, Goenka was even seen pointing a finger his finger at the LSG captain. This moment went viral on social media with fans criticizing Goenka for his behaviour and even labelling him as the ‘worst IPL owner’.
