Once again, it was not the day for Lucknow Super Giants (LSG)! LSG lost against Punjab Kings in their IPL 2025 encounter on Tuesday, April 1, 2025. Well, it must be difficult for the LSG fans to witness PBKS completely outplay the Rishabh Pant-led side. On the other hand, apart from the defeat, LSG owner Sanjiv Goenka's intense chat for the second time in a row during IPL 2025 with captain Rishabh Pant has left netizens in a frenzy over social media.
On one hand, where the whole internet can't stop talking about the toxicity of the team owner, on the other side, netizens have flooded social media with hilarious memes.
On Tuesday, just after the match and LSG's loss, Sanjiv Goenka was spotted talking to PBKS' skipper Shreyas Iyer, whom he hugged at the end of their chat. Following this, the LSG owner was spotted having an intense conversation with LSG captain Rishabh Pant, where Goenka looked visibly disappointed.

A loss for Rishabh Pant and a cakewalk for Shreyas Iyer
Punjab Kings chased a target of 172 runs on a track that offered a grip and variable bounce, with a blazing start from Prabhsimran playing a major role. He demolished the LSG bowling attack in the first 10 overs, smashing nine fours and three sixes to put Punjab in complete control and effectively steal the win.
With the foundation laid, it was then a cakewalk for his skipper, Shreyas Iyer (52 not out off 30 balls), as Punjab completed the chase in just 16.2 overs.
Look at Sanjiv Goenka's expressions when he is talking to Rishabh Pant & look at his expressions when he is talking to Shreyas Iyer.
