Lucknow Super Giants / How is Sanjiv Goenka's relationship with the LSG team? Puran revealed

Lucknow Super Giants: The performance of Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) in the Indian Premier League 2025 has been satisfactory so far, but the form of the team's captain Rishabh Pant has become a matter of great concern for the team. Pant has not been able to set the tone with the bat so far this season. In 8 innings of 9 matches, he has scored 106 runs at an average of just 13.25 and has scored only one half-century. His constant struggle has also forced the team management to think.

Meanwhile, Lucknow's star wicketkeeper batsman Nicholas Pooran has shared some important things about team owner Sanjiv Goenka, which has caught the attention of cricket fans.

Nicholas Pooran revealed that Sanjiv Goenka is always at the forefront in supporting the players. Since he bought LSG in 2022, he is present in the stadium in every match, no matter what the situation. Pooran said, "Whenever we needed support, Sanjeev Sir was the first to stand with us. He has given us the freedom to take our own cricketing decisions, so that the players are able to perform without any pressure."

Interestingly, now KL Rahul is a part of Delhi Capitals and he gave a befitting reply to his old team by playing a brilliant innings against Lucknow. In that match, when Goenka wanted to talk to Rahul, Rahul chose to ignore him and move forward. Nicholas Pooran has become the star performer of the team
