Pant's Apology: LSG Fights To Avoid Last Place
23 May
Summary
- Rishabh Pant apologizes to fans for team's poor IPL 2026 performance.
- LSG aims to avoid finishing last, currently tied with Mumbai Indians.
- The team endured a six-game losing streak midway through the season.
Lucknow Super Giants captain Rishabh Pant has issued an apology to the team's supporters as LSG battles to avoid finishing at the bottom of the IPL 2026 standings. The team faces Punjab Kings in its final league game on Saturday, May 23, with aspirations of a strong finish.
Expectations were high for LSG following a significant roster overhaul after a seventh-place finish in the previous season. However, underwhelming performances from key players and strategic missteps led to a damaging six-game losing streak, placing them near the bottom of the table.
As of May 23, 2026, LSG is tied with Mumbai Indians on eight points but trails due to a weaker net run rate. The team has struggled at home, despite recent consecutive victories, having lost eight games prior at the venue. In their match against PBKS, LSG reached 100/3 after 10 overs.
