Sanjiv Goenka’s Chat With Rishabh Pant Revives KL Rahul Exchange

SG Owner Sanjiv Goenka had a meeting with LSG captain Rishabh Pant and head coach Justin Langer after Lucknow Super Giants lost their inaugural IPL 2025 match against Delhi Capitals by one-wicket. The conversation reminded observers about an earlier dialogue that took place between Goenka and KL Rahul when the latter captained LSG during the previous IPL season.

During the latest game LSG maintained dominance because Delhi Capitals (DC) batsmen fell to 113 for six as they tried to chase down 210 runs. DC managed their victory because Ashutosh Sharma produced an outstanding best score of 66 runs off 31 balls to defeat the competition with three balls remaining. 

People and media observers saw Goenka conducting this conversation with Pant and Langer at an unexpected defeat moment. Theersonic discussion between Goenka and his players occurred in public view and people compared it to an earlier incident with KL Rahul during IPL 2024. Several media outlets speculated about team internal issues after Goenka had an animated meeting with captain Rahul following the Sunrisers Hyderabad defeat in IPL 2024.

The behavior has started social conversations regarding Goenka’s leadership methods and the stress his captains experience during his ownership. Such incidents generate mixed reactions since some interpret them as an active display of support but others see them as potential threats to the independence of team leadership. Team morale and performance will need observation throughout the rest of the season to assess their response to the captain versus owner interactions.
