The Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) are facing backlash from fans after a post-match clip featuring owner Sanjiv Goenka and captain Rishabh Pant went viral, reminiscent of a controversial interaction with former player KL Rahul in 2024. Following a six-wicket defeat to the Sunrisers Hyderabad at the Ekana Stadium, the clip depicted Goenka engaged in what appeared to be an intense discussion with Pant, raising concerns about franchise owners' involvement in team matters. In response to the growing speculation, LSG shared an 'unfiltered clip' portraying a more relaxed exchange between Goenka and Pant, including a hug. However, fans questioned the authenticity of this video, noting the empty stands and suggesting it might have been staged to counter negative narratives. Goenka, while not directly addressing the controversy, expressed confidence in the team's future and thanked fans for their support. LSG is set to focus on their upcoming match against Sunrisers Hyderabad on April 5, hoping to move past the off-field distractions.
