When Rishabh Pant came to the presentation after the match yesterday, disappointment was clearly visible on his face. Pant used abusive words in his statement, although it was not for anyone else. Lucknow Super Giants, already out of the playoff race, lost badly to Rajasthan Royals on Tuesday.

Rishabh Pant’s batting was also under question, who could not score runs at a fast pace in the last overs. Pant scored 35 runs in 23 balls, better performance was expected from him when Mitchell Marsh and Josh Inglis provided a fast start. Pant said after the match, “The way Joffra Archer bowled in the middle overs and in the last over was really brilliant. We could have scored 5-10 more runs, but we could not do it in the 20th over. You always want to support your bowlers, but when the wicket is like this, it becomes even more difficult. Giving too much advice also does not help.”

Champion mindset right here! No excuses even after losing, just pure belief. “We are such a good f***ing team” – Rishabh Pant. #RishabhPant #IPL #DelhiCapitals #CricketTwitter #ChampionMindset #Comeback #T20Cricket #CricketFever pic.twitter.com/xVRHwb4E9P
