Led by Arshdeep, the PBKS bowlers restricted LSG to 171 for 7, with none of the LSG batters managing to reach the 50-run mark.

Sunil Gavaskar Again Comes Up With 'Stupid, Stupid, Stupid' Comment. There's A Rishabh Pant Connection

Sunil Gavaskar, former Indian cricket team captain and batting great, is known to be unsparing if he does not approve of something. Quite often even Indian players have been on his target. Just like he never shies away from praising Indians after a good show, he often criticises them after a bad performance. The same happened during India vs Australia Test match in Melbourne in December, 2024, after Rishabh Pant got out to poor shot on the third day. With Ravindra Jadeja (17 off 51 balls) for company, Pant did start well and got a few boundaries but then the urge to play the falling lap pull over long-leg led to his dismissal.

The sum of Rs 27 crore that Lucknow Super Giants spent on Rishabh Pant isn't looking good at the moment.

After LSG suffered their second defeat of the season, at the hands of Punjab Kings, the franchise's owner Sanji Goenka confronted Rishabh Pant again on the field, asking some tough questions.
