Pant blames luck, not bowlers after LSG loss

Rishabh Pant admitted Lucknow Super Giants fell short after posting 228/5 against Mumbai Indians, saying the team now needs luck to revive their IPL 2026 campaign.

After a 228/5 start, Lucknow Super Giants were dismissed for 179 as Mumbai Indians chased the target with a 143‑run opening stand. Pant said the team were 10‑15 runs shy and blamed luck rather than bowlers for the loss.

With only two wins from nine matches, LSG now sit at the bottom of the table and look to a lucky turn of fortune to stay alive in the IPL 2026 season. newsbetting.cv
