Sanjiv Goenka Viral Reaction after Rishabh Pant got out for a Golden Duck vs DC

On Tuesday, Lucknow Super Giants and Delhi Capitals faced each other at Ekana Cricket Stadium, Lucknow, in the 40th match of the IPL 2025. Delhi Capitals won the toss and decided to bowl first. But Rishabh Pant, the most expensive player in the history of IPL and captain of Lucknow Super Giants, continues his poor performance in IPL 2025. He could not do anything good in this match as well and got out on a duck. In the eight matches played so far, the Lucknow captain has scored a half-century in just one inning, while in the remaining seven innings, he looked like a complete flop. The disappointment of Lucknow Skipper Rishabh Pant getting out on a duck was clearly visible on the face of the team owner, Sanjiv Goenka. Sanjeev definitely comes to the stadium to cheer for the team in every match of the Lucknow Super Giants. Even today, after Rishabh Pant’s dismissal, Sanjiv smiled, but social media is buzzing with images showing his sadness.

Lucknow Super Giants’ Performance in the Match against DC 

The opening batters gave Lucknow Super Giants a better start in the 40th match against Delhi. Aiden Markram and Mitchell Marsh showed aggression from the start and dominated the Delhi bowlers. Both batter together scored more than 50 runs in the first power play. But after the dismissal of Aiden Markram on 52 runs in the 10th over, the Lucknow batsmen suddenly lost their wickets. Nicholas Pooran and Abdul Samad got out cheaply, while Mitchell Marsh got out after scoring 45 runs. However, Ayush Badoni came in as an impact player and played brilliantly. He scored 36 runs in 21 balls. Overall, Lucknow batsmen could not take advantage of the good start and could score 159 runs in the first inning. Delhi Capitals‘ bowlers were successful in taking the match in their favour. In bowling, Mukesh Kumar took four wickets and stopped Lucknow Super Giants from reaching a big total.
