History repeated itself in the IPL as Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) owner Sanjiv Goenka was seen expressing his fury on the field following the team’s 6-wicket defeat to Delhi Capitals. In a video that has gone viral, Goenka is seen engaged in a heated animated discussion with skipper Rishabh Pant and coach Justin Langer. Pant appeared visibly uncomfortable as the owner vented his frustration right in front of the cameras, reminiscent of his public outburst with former captain KL Rahul in 2024.

Lucknow’s batting collapse led to a sub-par total of 141, which Delhi chased down comfortably thanks to clinical finishes by Sameer Rizvi and Tristan Stubbs. While Pant attributed the loss to a lack of partnerships and early wickets, the spotlight remains firmly on Goenka’s management style. Cricket fans and pundits are questioning whether such public confrontations undermine the captain’s authority, especially after the team’s lackluster start to the season.
