Questions arising when the LSG franchise official does not reach the post match presentation after defeat to Punjab
New Delhi. Something happened in the Indian Premier League that recently reminded the Champions Trophy hosted by the Pakistan Cricket Board. Lucknow Super Giants have not started their IPL 2025 campaign well. After the defeat between his owner Sanjeev Goenka and captain Rishabh Pant on social media, pictures of the discussions on the ground are going viral. There is speculation that everything is not good in the team. According to a recent report, it is in the news for the franchise officer not to reach the post match presentation after the defeat against Punjab Kings.
No one had reached the finals on behalf of the Pakistan Cricket Board hosting the Champions Trophy. India won the trophy by defeating New Zealand but no one was present on the stage in this prize ceremony. Now something similar is being seen in the Indian Premier League. According to MyKhel’s report, LSG was to send its representative for the ceremony as they were hosts. This did not happen, while Goenka, including some officials, was seen on the ground at Ekana Cricket Stadium in Lucknow on Tuesday after the match. Citing a LSG officer, he said that “Shri Goenka was on the ground and there was no such system.”
The report further claimed that Goenka’s name was in the guest list of the post match ceremony which was later canceled. Another source claimed, “If so, LSG should have sent his franchise officer for a post match presentation?”
Sanjeev Goenka raised controversy during IPL 2024. He was seen having an animated conversation with his former captain KL Rahul after a big defeat against Sunrisers Hyderabad. There was a lot of ruckus about this. However, he had given clarification on this later and said that everything was recovering. After this season, the paths of KL Rahul and Lucknow’s team separated.

In this season too, Goenka has been seen publicly discussing post matches with new captain Pant and Head Coach Justin Langer. LSG has lost two of their first three matches of IPL 2025 and slipped the points at the bottom of the table. The franchise qualified for the playoffs in its first two seasons after making her debut in 2022. However, last year he failed to do so and separated from Rahul, then signed Pant for a record of Rs 27 crore in the mega auction.
