Sanjiv Goenka enters LSG dressing room with glum faces after animated chat with Rishabh Pant: 'Disappointing result…'

Lucknow Super Giants were on course to beat Delhi Capitals before running into Ashutosh Sharma, who snatched victory from the jaws of defeat and took the Capitals over the line in their IPL 2025 opener in Visakhapatnam on Monday by chasing down 210. The two points that, for the longest time, seemed to belong to LSG eventually went into DC's kitty, but franchise owner Sanjiv Goenka didn't read too much into it and rather lifted the morale of his players. LSG coach Justin Langer looks on as Sanjiv Goenka addresses the players After Goenka addressed the defeat with Pant in post-match visuals, the owner made his way inside the team dressing room. Goenka admitted that the end result was disappointing, believing LSG could well have defended the total, but it's still early days, and the fact that the players fought until the end augurs well for the team environment. Mitchell Marsh and Nicholas Pooran's explosive half-centuries – they combined to hit 13 sixes – propelled LSG to 209/8 after Pant, the most expensive player in IPL history – fell for a six-ball duck.
