Frustrated rishabh pant

Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) captain Rishabh Pant delivered a blunt and straightforward assessment after his side’s seven-wicket defeat to Rajasthan Royals at the Sawai Mansingh Stadium on Tuesday, insisting that his side remains ‘a f***ing good team’ despite slipping to another high-scoring loss in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2026.

LSG, though eliminated from the play-offs race, posted a formidable 220/5 in 20 overs on a batting-friendly surface, but Rajasthan Royals overhauled the total in just 19.1 overs, as Donovan Ferreira’s late strike sealed the chase at 225/3.
