Lucknow Super Giants suffered an eight-wicket loss to Punjab Kings at the Bharat Ratna Shri Atal Bihari Vajpayee Ekana Cricket Stadium on Tuesday, April 1. The Super Giants managed to score only 171/7 despite having a strong overseas batting lineup. PBKS secured the victory with 22 balls to spare.
According to a report by MyKhel, an LSG promoter was expected to be present as a host at the post-match presentation in Lucknow, following the team's protocol for home matches. However, no one from LSG attended the ceremony, even though some team members were seen on the field after the match.
LSG Officials' Absence Sparks Discussions on Social Media
The absence of LSG officials at the post-match ceremony has sparked discussions, especially given past incidents, such as owner Sanjiv Goenka publicly criticizing KL Rahul after a loss last season. This has led to questions about LSG’s sportsmanship and whether they need to reassess their approach.
Sanjiv Goenka’s Name Included in the Post-Match Ceremony Guest List
The report further stated that Goenka’s name was initially included in the post-match ceremony guest list but was later removed. "If that is the case, LSG should have sent one of their franchise officials for the post-match presentation?" a source added.
In response, PBKS chased down the target with ease. They reached 177/2 in just 16.2 overs. Prabhsimran Singh scored 69 runs, while Shreyas Iyer (52*) and Nehal Wadhera (43*) guided the team to victory. Digvesh Singh Rathi picked up two wickets for LSG, but it wasn’t enough to prevent their defeat.
