            <content:encoded><![CDATA[<img src="https://media.cricketwinner.com/media/2025/03/119452843.webp" width="1280" height="720" alt="Sanjiv Goenka and Rishabh Pant "/><p>Kick off the IPL-2025 season with magnificent excitement. The viewers were privileged to witness a moment of sheer drama during which the owner of the<a href="https://www.lucknowsupergiants.in/"> Lucknow Super Giants </a>(LSG), <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sanjiv_Goenka">Sanjiv Goenka</a>, was seen in a serious conversation with captain <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rishabh_Pant">Rishabh Pant</a> and head coach <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Justin_Langer">Justin Langer</a>. The conversation, in the ending of the LSG’s unexpected loss to Delhi Capitals (DC) at the ACA-VDCA Cricket Stadium, was a crucial one. The photo has since earned considerable attention, as well.</p><blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p dir="ltr" lang="in">Apude dengulu start pant gadiki owner tho 😭🤣🤣🤣 <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/DCvLSG?src=hash&ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">#DCvLSG</a> <a href="https://t.co/6ems9oI2yb">pic.twitter.com/6ems9oI2yb</a></p>— Prabhas Devotee🔥 (@SainathPB) <a href="https://twitter.com/SainathPB/status/1904239613201502253?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">March 24, 2025</a></blockquote><p><strong>Also Read: </strong><a href="https://www.cricketwinner.com/cricket-news/tamim-iqbal-dead-or-alive-latest-update-on-his-health-condition/">Tamim Iqbal dead or alive? latest update on his health condition</a></p><p>This live conversation takes place at a crucial time on the heels of <strong>Pant’s lackluster performance in the match as LSG failed to defend their total against a resurgent DC side.</strong> Now, with Pant leading the side, Goenka’s latest interaction has raised <strong>questions about his management style</strong>. The LSG owner’s visible frustration after the loss to DC suggests that the pressure is mounting on Pant, who is expected to deliver results following his high-profile transfer. The talk, while not as loud as Goenka’s prior enthusiasm with the then skipper KL Rahul in the IPL 2024 season, sets the tone for the owner’s hopes for the new captain, who was one of the most expensive purchases as he cost the team ₹27 crores at the IPL auction.</p><p>This incident indicates the fact that the IPL is a high-pressure environment where the owners of the teams, coaches, and captains are being watched all the time to produce the desired results. In a league where a single run might win, Goenka's involvement is an indication of how the bench can inadvertently become a battlefield in the world’s most aggressive T20 competition. </p>]]></content:encoded>

            <content:encoded><![CDATA[<img src="https://media.cricketwinner.com/media/2025/01/1715756955418_dfghjk (1).webp" width="1152" height="720" alt="Sanjiv Goenka : Rishabh Pant as IPL’s Next Great Captain"/><p><strong>Rishabh Pant: A Future IPL Captaincy Great?</strong></p><p>cricket fans known about <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rishabh_Pant">Rishabh Pant </a>and his journey to becoming a top captain in the<strong> Indian Premier League (IPL)</strong>. Sanjiv Goenka, who owns the Lucknow Super Giants, challenged everyone, predicting that Pant's name is going to move to the highest part of the list of the IPL's most successful captains right up there with legends such as<strong> Mahi and Rohit</strong>.</p><p>That's a very loud yell.<a href="https://www.cricketwinner.com/cricket-news/lsg-captaincy-rishabh-pant-takes-the-charge-for-ipl-2025/"> Goenka</a> didn't only stop there. Mister Goenka doubled down, calling Pant a born leader and even said that Pant might (simply) be the best captain the IPL will ever see. That's a lot of excitement, but Pant doesn't just talk. Mister Pant's already been leading at Delhi Capitals, surging in popularity with how he leads  calm but instinctive, aggressive yet sharp and informed.</p><p><strong>Sanjiv Goenka said, "people now say 'Mahi, Rohit' in IPL's most successful captains list. Mark my words, after 10-12 years it'll be 'Mahi, Rohit and Rishabh Pant'".</strong></p><p><strong>Sanjiv Goenka said, "I see a born leader in Rishabh Pant. From my point of view, he will probably be the best captain IPL has ever seen".</strong></p><p><strong>ALSO READ: </strong><a href="https://www.cricketwinner.com/cricket-news/lsg-captaincy-rishabh-pant-takes-the-charge-for-ipl-2025/">LSG Captaincy: Rishabh Pant Takes the charge for IPL 2025</a></p><p>Players who play with him and those who thoroughly understand their cricket are all nodding along, saying Pant's greatness and captiancy skills. And now, with the LSG officially making<strong> Pant their captain</strong>, it's clearly everything's coming full circle for him. This is his major chance to prove such deep captaincy focus isn't simply empty talk. Mister Pant's faced down tough times, such as that abominable injury that could've ended things for him. But he bounced back, and now he's ready to impress this new team with his eager way of leading. Suddenly, we circle fully back to Goenka's important note the Pant ending up on the IPL's captaincy Mount Rushmore in 10-12 years. If Pant keeps on the path he's on, turning setbacks into comebacks, and leading his team as if he's born to do it, who's to say it won't happen?</p><p>Rishabh Pant is trying to be a good team captain because he's positive, makes decisions fast, and can make his team excited and ready. Mister Pant is still learning and getting better, and in the end, you would find that he might be just as legendary as major names such as <strong>MS Dhoni and Rohit Sharma</strong>. Now that another season of IPL is coming up, everyone's looking to see if Pant can really turn all the high hopes people have for him into actual wins. Some people think he might become one of the major stars of IPL captaincy soon. Today, everyone's just watching Pant to see if he'll be one of the great captian in cricket history,among the greats.</p><p> </p>]]></content:encoded>

Notably, Rahul was associated with LSG from 2022 to 2024 after joining them for Rs 17 crore ahead of the IPL 2022 mega auction. However, he scored 1410 runs in 38 matches. Under his leadership, LSG finished in the top four of the IPL 2022 points table and secured a place in the playoffs as well.</p><p id="1" class="story_para_1">The star India batter was released by LSG before the IPL 2025 mega auction, which took place in Jeddah on November 24 and 25. Notably, he joined Delhi Capitals for Rs 14 crore and is likely to lead the franchise in the upcoming season of the IPL as well.</p><h3 class="story_para_1"><strong>"He served as Lucknow captain for three years and performed well as a batter" - Sanjiv Goenka on KL Rahul</strong></h3><p class="story_para_1">During his recent appearance on the TRS show, Sanjiv Goenka was asked about KL Rahul, and in response he also said that Rahul is like his family.</p><p class="story_para_1">“KL mere liye hamesha se family rahe hai and hamesha family rahenge. He served as Lucknow captain for three years and performed well as a batter. Mere dil se unke liye hamesha dua hi niklegi, no matter what happens. He is a very gentle man. He is so talented. Jitna unka talent hai, vo ubhar ke bahar aaye. I have so much love and respect for him in my heart," Goenka said.</p><p class="story_para_1"><strong>SEE ALSO: <a href="https://www.cricketwinner.com/cricket-news/good-to-see-him-working-on-the-game-harbhajan-singh-on-virat-kohli/">'Good to see him working on the game' - Harbhajan Singh on Virat Kohli</a></strong></p><h3 class="story_para_1"><strong>"I’ve never seen a leader like MS Dhoni" - Sanjiv Goenka</strong></h3><p id="5" class="story_para_5">Sanjiv Goenka also applauded legendary Indian cricketer MS Dhoni and shared why the veteran wicketkeeper-batter is the greatest captain.</p><p class="story_para_5">“I’ve never seen a leader like MS Dhoni. It’s crazy how even to this day he keeps reinventing himself. Just look at Pathirana, a baby bowler. Don’t know where MS saw him and now groomed him into a lethal match winner. He knows how to use his players well, and he keeps on thinking. Whenever I interact with him, I always learn something," Goenka said.</p><p class="story_para_5">“I have an 11-year-old grandson who is crazy about cricket. Dhoni in my home taught him how to play cricket, some 5-6 years ago. He constantly asked him questions, and I told my grandson, ‘Leave him now.’ Dhoni replied, ‘Let it be; I am enjoying this conversation.’ Dhoni went on to have a conversation with him for half an hour. This human quality with a kid where he spent so much time for a kid. It makes you learn how to speak with others, and that is why he is Dhoni. Whenever he plays against Lucknow, the entire stadium is filled with yellow to support him," he concluded.</p>]]></content:encoded>

Rahul’s catch dismissed Shai Hope, who scored 38 runs off 27 balls, comprising of two sixes and three boundaries. The catch broke the crucial 92-run partnership between Hope and Abishek Porel for the second wicket, occurring in the ninth over of DC’s innings.</p><p>Ravi Bishnoi delivered a flat ball outside off, which Hope aimed straight to cover.

            <content:encoded><![CDATA[<img src="https://media.cricketwinner.com/image/dir/imgpsh_fullsize_anim-2024-05-11T124440.291.jpg" width="768" height="461" alt="Sourav Ganguly speaks about KL Rahul-Sanjiv Goenka controversy"/><p>Former Indian captain Sourav Ganguly has weighed in on the upcoming <a href="https://www.cricketwinner.com/cricket-news/james-anderson-to-retire-from-test-cricket-this-summer-reports">T20 World Cup</a>, suggesting that the Indian team should utilize Virat Kohli’s exceptional form by opening with him in the tournament. Ganguly highlighted Kohli’s impressive performances in the ongoing Indian Premier League (IPL), where he currently holds the Orange Cap with 634 runs from 12 matches, averaging 70.44. </p><p>Ganguly emphasized Kohli’s recent batting prowess, stating, “The way Kohli batted last night – 90 in quick time, you need to use him as an opener in T20 World Cup. He should open, evidenced by his last few IPL innings which have been outstanding.”</p><h3 class="wp-block-heading">Ganguly express confidence about the squad ahead T20 WC</h3><p>Regarding India’s chances in the T20 World Cup, Ganguly expressed confidence in the squad’s balance and capability to clinch the trophy after a 17-year gap. He acknowledged India’s lone triumph in the inaugural edition of the T20 World Cup in 2007 and believes the current team has the potential to replicate that success.</p><p>“This is an excellent squad. I think they have picked the best possible squad. Apart from batting depth, bowling looks excellent.</p><p>“Bumrah is the best fast bowler in the world at the moment. We have experience in Kuldeep, Axar, Siraj. It’s an ideal combination we have this time,” said Ganguly.</p><p>“This is going to be the trend in the years to come. T20 cricket has become a power-oriented game and that’s what it is going to be.</p><p>“I was reading Sanju Samson’s comments the other day, where he said there’s no time to settle down in modern T20s. You just have to hit, and that’s the way it is going to be,” said Ganguly.</p><p>Commenting on the evolving nature of T20 cricket, Ganguly noted the trend of teams consistently surpassing the 250-run mark in the IPL. He attributed this trend to the evolved mindset of batters and the Impact Player rule, emphasizing the need for bowlers to enhance their skills to counter the aggressive batting displays. Ganguly cited the example of pacer Jasprit Bumrah, who has excelled in both IPL and international cricket with his exceptional bowling skills.</p><p>“Now, in IPL we are seeing scores like 240, 250 regularly. The main reasons are good batting wickets and the grounds are also not big in India. In the last game between Delhi Capitals and Rajasthan (Royals), 26 sixes were hit in a 40-over game, which is almost one six every over.</p><p>“That’s how this game has gone and that’s how the players have started approaching the game. The Impact Player rule, where every team has the possibility of adding another batsman, has also added another dimension to it,” he detailed.</p><h3 class="wp-block-heading">“It is not fair for me to make a comment based on a TV grab…”</h3><p>Addressing questions about the T20 World Cup squad selection, Ganguly supported the inclusion of wicketkeeper-batters Rishabh Pant and Sanju Samson over Dinesh Karthik. He stated, “Dinesh played well but there are better players than Dinesh. I don’t think you can leave Sanju or Rishabh out.”</p><p>Regarding the recent controversy involving Lucknow Super Giants skipper KL Rahul and team owner Sanjiv Goenka, Ganguly refrained from commenting, stating it wouldn’t be fair to make a judgment based on limited information.</p><p>“It is not fair for me to make a comment based on a TV grab. I don’t know what Sanjeev had spoken to Rahul. So, I leave it at that,” he said.</p><p><strong>See Also: <a href="https://www.cricketwinner.com/cricket-news/rohit-sharmas-chat-with-abhishek-nayar-goes-viral-kkr-delete-video">Watch: Rohit Sharma’s chat with Abhishek Nayar goes viral, KKR delete video</a></strong></p><p>Ganguly’s insights shed light on the strategic decisions surrounding team composition and player roles ahead of the highly anticipated T20 World Cup.</p>]]></content:encoded>
