Pant stated, “It’s been a tough season for us, and there is no running away from that, but one person for us who has had the most difficult time is our owner, Mr Goenka; he’s one of those guys.” His individual performance has also suffered. He has scored just 204 runs in nine matches this season.

Former players are calling for a change in leadership. Manoj Tiwary suggested that “Rishabh Pant should be released from captaincy pressure.” He added, “I feel that, under the pressure of captaincy, we are losing Pant the batter.” This sentiment reflects growing concerns about team dynamics.

LSG faces an uphill battle ahead. The team has lost six consecutive matches. Their next game is against the Royal Challengers Bangalore on May 7, 2026.

Sanjiv Goenka recently expressed optimism regarding the political landscape in West Bengal. Following the BJP’s election victory, he remarked, “The dreams, hopes, and aspirations of the people of Bengal have been reignited with this unprecedented result.” The BJP secured over 205 out of 294 assembly seats in the state elections.

As LSG navigates its challenges in IPL 2026, attention will remain on Rishabh Pant’s captaincy and his future with the team.
