Former Indian cricketer Madan Lal did not easily participate in animated chat with Lucknow Super Giants team owner Sanjiv Goenka with Rishabh Pant after his match against the Punjab Kings. Teams should be allowed to enjoy their own games and play freely, he said.

Lucknow Super Giants Captain Rishabh Pant has had a tough time in the ongoing Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025. Southpaw has been working hard to be a captain and batsman, which has faced a lot of criticism.

Lucknow Super Giants win only one victory in three games with Rishabh Pant

Under Rishabh Pant, the Lucknow Superman has won only one league victory in three games. The Sanjiv Goenka-owned franchise has begun a campaign against the Delhi capital and it seems they will start the game on High.

But that’s not the case, as the Delhi capital took the victory from its failed jaw. Since then, Rishabh Pant’s team defeated Sunrisers Hyderabad at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium in Hyderabad to achieve their campaign to make their campaign go on and they are expected to continue in the same form.

However, the Lucknow Super Giants are on the receiving end of the eight-goal strikes at the hands of the Punjab Kings. They were dominated by bats and the ball when they lost to the Indian Premier League (IPL) for the second time in their third game.

Pant has also been working hard to move forward. The goalkeeper batsman didn’t lead from the front when he lost three straight games. He recorded low points in all three of his P gamesIt has been laid out, which has always been the main reason behind the team’s bad outings.

Let the boys enjoy the game and let them play freely – Madan lal to Sanjiv Goenka

However, this has a bad relationship with 1983 World Cup champion Madan Lal. All of these things can happen in it, he said, and the owner of the franchise should let the boys play freely because T20 cricket is unpredictable. He said:

“I don’t know about the discussion between Rishab and Mr. Sanjiv’s Ghoenka. It all can happen in it. Let the boys enjoy playing games and let them play freely. 20/20 cricket is very unpredictable.”

I don’t know about the discussion between Mr. Rishab AD Sanjiv’s Goenka. All of this can happen internally. Let boys like games and let them play freely. 20/20 Cricket is very unpredictable.
