Sanjiv Goenka on Lsh Elimination Playoff On Monday, with the defeat against Sunrisers Hyderabad, Lucknow Super Giants have been ruled out of the IPL 2025 playoffs. SRH won by 6 wickets over Lucknow thanks to Abhishek Sharma’s stormy Fifty and then Henrik Klassen’s brilliant performance. Lucknow could not save the target of 206 runs. He currently has 2 matches left in the league stage, which will be insufficient to take him to the playoffs. Now LSG Owner Sanjiv Goenka has reacted to his team being out of the playoffs.

Giving a passionate message on social media, Sanjeev Goenka wrote, “The second phase of the season was difficult for us, but a lot of during this time will increase our courage. Passes, efforts and moments of success encourage us to further. 2 matches are still left, let’s finish the season with good memories while playing with Gaurav.”

Five defeats in 6 matches

The second phase of IPL 2025 for Lucknow Super Giants was really difficult. LSG had won four wins in the first 6 matches in the season, but he got only one win in the next 6 matches. Lucknow has lost the last four matches and is yet to play one match with Gujarat Titans and Royal Challengers Bangalore.

LSG’s playoff record in IPL history

Lucknow Super Giants entered the Indian Premier League in the year 2022. In 2022 and 2023, Lucknow traveled to the playoffs, but both times he lost in the eliminator match. LSG has failed to go into the playoffs even after the tireless efforts from the last two seasons. Let us tell you that in IPL 2025, Lucknow team captain Rishabh Pant has failed badly, who has scored only 135 runs in 12 matches.

Lsg owner sanjeev goenka: The biggest flop, laggard, 27 crores went waste, what people did not say for Rishabh Pant. The season of IPL 2025 has been very bad for Pant, in which he has been able to score only 135 runs in 11 innings so far. His poor form is also going on in the match against SRH, in which he has been dismissed for just 7 runs. The IPL 2025 data has proved an old prediction of Sanjeev Goenka (LSG Owner Sanjiv Goenka).

Sanjeev Goenka predicted after purchasing Rishabh Pant for Rs 27 crore in the mega auction. He said, “I believe that Pant will continue to play for the next 12-15 years. People say that Mumbai Indians and Chennai Super Kings have achieved a lot of success. I also believe that Rohit Sharma and MS Dhoni have been the best players and captains. After 10 years, people will say, Mahi, Rohit and Rishabh.”

Prophecy proved to be false

Rishabh Pant got the captaincy of Lucknow Super Giants this time. His personal performance is not only fading but he has not been able to perform amazing as a captain. Where Sanjeev Goenka used to say that after 10 years, Pant must have become a very big superstar player, but this prediction seems to be proved to be false in the first year. It is also difficult for LSG to go to the playoffs.

In IPL, Rishabh Pant has played for Delhi Capitals and Lucknow Super Giants. If we look at his captaincy records before the match against SRH, he captained Delhi Capitals in 43 matches, of which his team was victorious 23 times. At the same time, in IPL 2025, he has captained LSG in 11 matches so far, out of which his team has been able to register only 5 wins.
