Both marquee players come on board as pre-signed overseas recruits before the league’s mega auction, signaling DSG’s intent to dominate in the coming season.</span><span id="input-sentence~1"><br></span></p><p><span id="input-sentence~1">Sunil Narine, long regarded as one of the most tactically intelligent T20 players, brings not just his unique bowling skills but also power-hitting credentials and captaincy experience. Speaking on his signing, Narine said, “Being invited to be part of the Super Giants family is an opportunity I value.</span><span id="input-sentence~2"> I’ve heard great things about Mr. Goenka’s vision and the setup.” His addition gives DSG a versatile all-round option and a proven performer in high-pressure games.<br></span></p><p><span id="input-sentence~2">Meanwhile, Jos Buttler’s move is seen as a massive coup. Having previously represented<strong><a href="https://www.paarlroyals.com/"> Paarl Royals</a></strong>, the English captain now shifts camps and becomes a centrepiece in Durban’s strategy.</span><span id="input-sentence~3"> “I've had a great chat with <strong><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sanjiv_Goenka">Dr. Sanjiv Goenka </a></strong>and can’t wait to get stuck in with DSG,” Buttler said.

The left-handed batsman-wicketkeeper made a spectacular return in whites after a lacklustre 2025 IPL season, becoming only the second gloveman in Test history to score hundreds in both innings of a match, after Zimbabwe's <strong><a href="https://www.cricbuzz.com/profiles/3406/andy-flower">Andy Flower</a></strong>. His 118 off 140 balls in the second innings was the deciding blow, with 15 boundaries and three towering sixes that rendered Headingley incoherent. The tone was set by his 134 in the first inning.</p><p><span id="input-sentence~1">If Pant was the spark, <strong><a href="https://www.cricketwinner.com/tag/kl-rahul/">KL Rahul</a></strong> was the foundation.</span><span id="input-sentence~2"> The right-hander crafted a masterful 137 from 247 deliveries, anchoring India's second-innings total and building a monumental 195-run partnership with Pant that might define the match. With elegant drives, a calm head, and grit under pressure, Rahul notched up his ninth Test ton and sixth in SENA conditions, his third in England alone, eclipsing even Rahul Dravid’s tally as an opener in the country.</span></p><p><span id="input-sentence~3">The partnership not only put India in command on Day 4 but also drew admiration from one of India’s most high-profile cricket stakeholders,<strong><a href="https://www.iplt20.com/teams/lucknow-super-giants"> Lucknow Super Giants</a></strong> owner Sanjiv Goenka. Taking to X (formerly Twitter), Goenka applauded both the current and former captains of his IPL franchise. </span><span id="input-sentence~4">“<strong>Two good! Back-to-back centuries for @RishabhPant17. Aggressive, audacious, brilliant. Only the second wicketkeeper in history to score a century in both innings of a Test</strong>,” Goenka wrote, before adding, “<strong>Congratulations also to @klrahul for his hundred. #INDvsENG</strong>.”</span></p><blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-media-max-width="560"><p dir="ltr" lang="en">Two good!

But at Headingley, there were no signs of scars, only supreme class. As the crowd waited for Pant’s signature somersault celebration, <strong><a href="https://www.cricbuzz.com/profiles/3817/sunil-gavaskar">Sunil Gavaskar</a></strong> egged him on from the stands.</span><span id="input-sentence~6"> But Pant resisted, saving his energy for the job at hand. He raised his bat quietly after nudging a single off Shoaib Bashir, marking the moment with humility, not high-flying theatrics.</span></p><p><span id="input-sentence~6">And it’s not done yet. England still needs 350 runs heading into Day 5.</span><span id="input-sentence~7"> Crawley and Duckett are unbeaten, but the mountain is steep.

LSG, on pen and paper, is still looking solid, but their performance on the field is telling a completely different story— a flop for Rishabh Pant and his team, the Lucknow Super Giants. Since the last season, Sanjiv Goenka has remained as one of the central figures whenever LSG was on the field. In IPL 2024, the one-field moment between Goenka and then their captain, KL Rahul, was captured through lenses, and the LSG owner became a talking point among cricket fans. </p><p><strong>Read More:</strong> <a href="https://www.cricketwinner.com/cricket-news/ipl-2025-dc-vs-kkr-match-48-arun-jaitley-stadium-stats-and-preview/">IPL 2025: DC vs KKR Match 48 - Arun Jaitley stadium stats and preview</a></p><p>Pant replaces Rahul of the ongoing season, but LSG's fate is yet to be proven. Cricket fans and critics have speculated about Goenka's possible influence on his team. Amit Mishra has recently disclosed something shocking about Sanjeev.  In a recent conversation, Mishra said, "Perhaps every team has someone who can be influential; it can be a coach, it can be a captain. But from my point of view, the matter is different for Lucknow Super Giants."</p><h3>See what Mishra said on camera</h3><blockquote><p dir="ltr" lang="en">Former LSG player Amit Mishra shares his views on Lucknow Super Giants' management and owner Sanjiv Goenka. <a href="https://t.co/4LkcMxRWgz">pic.twitter.com/4LkcMxRWgz</a></p>— Mufaddal Vohra (@mufaddal_vohra) <a href="https://twitter.com/mufaddal_vohra/status/1916767283638161739?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">April 28, 2025</a></blockquote><h3>Amit Mishra expressed his opinion about Sanjeev Goenka</h3><p>Mishra had played for Super Giants before, during IPL 2024 and IPL 2023. So, he is well aware of the dressing atmosphere of the Lucknow Super Giants. Mishra has claimed that the image of Goenka has been created by the media, is not true. </p><p>In a straightforward response, the Uttar Pradesh-born cricketer said, "Last year I heard that KL Rahul himself set the team. This year, we saw Rishabh Pant and Zaheer Khan exchange words outside the field during the match. Even their coach was also involved in open conversation. Through multiple media reports, we may have created a character of Sanjiv Goenka, which I feel is not true. From my experience I can confirm he never influenced his team or asked anything to be done by force."</p>]]></content:encoded>

After the game, whilst everyone was shaking hands, a moment between Rahul and the LSG owner was seen on video on social media, which went viral.</p><p><strong>Watch video:-</strong></p><blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-media-max-width="560"><p dir="ltr" lang="et"><a href="https://t.co/vczTHgfE6t">pic.twitter.com/vczTHgfE6t</a> <br><br>Kl Rahul just ignored Goenka😭<a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/lsgvsdc?src=hash&ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">#lsgvsdc</a></p>— Sanju Samson(Fanclub) 𝕏 (@arjaksaini7) <a href="https://twitter.com/arjaksaini7/status/1914735601930396099?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">April 22, 2025</a></blockquote><h3>What had happened between Rahul & Goenka?</h3><p>The feud between KL Rahul and the Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) management, headed by owner Sanjiv Goenka, intensified after the team's poor performance in the last IPL season. After their crushing loss to Sunrisers Hyderabad, Goenka was visibly upset and had a heated argument with Rahul, which was recorded and widely shared on social media. The exchange brought out the increasing tension between the two, and it soon became apparent that their relationship had turned sour. The open conflict between the LSG administration and Rahul led to questions regarding the captaincy of the team and its future. Rahul, who had captained LSG, had struggled with erratic performances throughout the season, resulting in mounting pressure from both the media and supporters. Goenka, who was known for his no-nonsense attitude, made it clear that he was disappointed with the team's performances under Rahul's command, particularly during important phases of the tournament.</p><p><strong>Also read: </strong><a href="https://www.cricketwinner.com/cricket-news/bcci-refutes-allegations-against-rajasthan-royals-as-unsubstantiated-refers-to-political-scandal-in-rca-ongoing/">BCCI refutes allegations against Rajasthan Royals as unsubstantiated, refers to political scandal in RCA ongoing</a></p><p>During the post-season, Rahul was decided not to be kept for the season of IPL 2025, a decision that surprised people as he was among the top players in the league. This was the end of his connection with LSG. The team instead went in a different direction, with leadership changes and a new vision for the team. But Rahul's career was far from over. His potential and value in the market were something to be reckoned with, and before long, Delhi Capitals stepped in and paid a premium ₹14 crore for him during the IPL 2025 auction. The switch provided Rahul the opportunity to go on with his IPL career but ended an experience with LSG as well.Though the division between Rahul and Goenka was a prominent subject of discourse, it was also a reminder of the strains and intricacies of IPL management. Players and franchises are constantly under scrutiny, and even a minor misstep can result in dramatic changes to team dynamics. As Rahul continues with Delhi Capitals, most will want to know how he will get along with his new team and if the change in surroundings will assist him in regaining his best form.</p>]]></content:encoded>

The 54-year coach said with a smile on his face, "So I sit with (Sanjiv) Goenka and have this conversation. He’s a calm and nice person and is a very successful businessman. You know what he says in the end, the last words—'Justin,' I know you had a very successful coaching career. But let’s face it. You can’t classify yourself as a great coach until you win the IP'L."</p><p>After a coaching stint with the Baggy Green brigade, Langer decided to take a break from cricket. When he left the Australian team dressing, it was unclear whether or when he would again take a new coaching job. The former cricketer was appointed as Australia's head coach back in 2018. His coaching experience with his national team was not the nicest at the beginning. From a horrifying white-ball tour of England in '18 to winning the T20I World Cup in November 2021, Langer had seen a lot. In the following year, after a long discussion with Cricket Australia board officials, Langer resigned. </p><h3>Sanjiv Goenka's words inspired Langer </h3><p>For the next 3 years he was almost out of the picture, exploring new avenues outside the cricket ground. Then, one day he meets Lucknow Super Kings (LSG) owner Sanjiv Goenka. Goenka's 'Justin, I know you had a very successful coaching career. But let’s face it. You can’t classify yourself as a great coach until you win the IPL' inspired the former coach to return where he belonged—a cricket coach. </p><p>Further in the chat with Clarke, Langer added, "I had zero stress from the Goenka family. </p><p>LSG is yet to find the right to claim the IPL trophy under Langer's guidance. Last season was an utter disaster for the team, and this season, in IPL 2025, Super Giants need to find the right route to the playoffs as soon as possible.</p>]]></content:encoded>

He managed only two runs off five balls, taking his total to just 17 runs from 26 balls in three matches so far.</span></p><p> </p><blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p dir="ltr" lang="hi">Lucknow Supergiants ke Owner Sanjiv Goenka Shreyas Iyer se baat kr rahe hai.<br><br>Abhi koi faida nahi hai sir aap Rishabh Pant ko le kar bahut khus ho rahe the na 😆 <br><br>Aaj fir pta nahi Captain ko kya bol rahe hai...!!!!😮‍💨😱😳 <a href="https://t.co/o2XIOoFVCm">pic.twitter.com/o2XIOoFVCm</a></p>— Gurlabh Singh (@gurlabhsingh610) <a href="https://twitter.com/gurlabhsingh610/status/1907122703821127783?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">April 1, 2025</a></blockquote><p><span id="input-sentence~3"><strong>ALSO READ: </strong><a href="https://www.cricketwinner.com/cricket-news/watch-harshal-patel-s-brutal-honest-confession-about-wife-on-live-camera/">Watch: Harshal Patel's brutal honest confession about wife on live camera</a><br><br>Goenka was later seen having a serious conversation with Pant, similar to their chat after Lucknow’s earlier loss to <a href="https://www.cricketwinner.com/cricket-news/punjab-kings-troll-rishabh-pant-after-lsg-s-disastrous-start/">Delhi Capitals</a>.
