'Pant Puts Himself Under Tremendous Pressure By Opening The Batting': Pietersen
Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium: Former England cricketer Kevin Pietersen has disagreed with Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) skipper Rishabh Pant's decision to open the innings in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2026 after the skippers brief outing at the top order against Delhi Capitals on Wednesday. Pant promoted himself to the opening slot against Delhi Capitals, but his stay at the crease was cut short due to an unfortunate run-out at the non-strikers end. The dismissal came after a drive from Mitchell Marsh ricocheted off the bowlers hand and deflected onto the stumps. According to Pietersen, Pant, who struggled for runs in the last season, has increased the pressure on himself after deciding to open the innings for the team. He believes that Pant should not force himself at the top and focus on enjoying the position that he bats in. When you look at the strength and depth of LSG's batting, is Rishabh Pant really an opening batter? I think he might have gone a little too far ahead of where he was in the line-up compared to last year. Last year, he moved down the order, and now suddenly it's, I'm going to come up to the top, Pieterson told Jio Hotstar. I think he just needs to go out and enjoy his cricket. Dont force yourself into batting at three; enjoy the luxury of that position. I think he puts himself under tremendous pressure by opening the batting, he added. Pant became the most expensive player in the tournament's history last year when LSG secured the wicketkeeper-batter for Rs 27 crore. However, his performance with the bat failed to justify his price tag. Although he scored a century, his overall performance remained underwhelming, as the ton came when LSG were already out of the race for the playoffs. I think he just needs to go out and enjoy his cricket. Dont force yourself into batting at three; enjoy the luxury of that position. I think he puts himself under tremendous pressure by opening the batting, he added. Also Read: Live Cricket Score Meanwhile, LSG lost their first match after Delhi Capitals chased down an easy target of 142 runs in just 17.1 overs. Pant's batting position will again be a talking point when LSG face Sunrisers Hyderabad in their next match on April 5 at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium in Hyderabad. Article Source: IANS

LSG's Story This Season Is Far From Written: Sanjiv Goenka After Team's Loss To DC
After Lucknow Super Giants: After Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) went down by six wickets against the Delhi Capitals (DC) in their opening IPL 2026 encounter, franchise owner Sanjiv Goenkar rallied behind the team and the captain Rishabh Pant to bounce back in style, saying the team's story this season is far from written. LSG were well below par with the bat, but their pacers tested DC with plenty of movement. A target of 142 was always going to be difficult to defend for the hosts, but DC rode Sameer Rizvi's unbeaten 70 to a six-wicket win to begin their IPL 2026 campaign. This is a long season, and moments like these are part of building something meaningful. I have full confidence in our captain and the team to respond with strength. To our fans, thank you for your support at Ekana, we will come back stronger. The story of @LucknowIPL this season is far from written, Goenka shared on X after the match. Asked to bat first, LSG struggled to build momentum right from the onset. In a much-talked-about move, LSG captain Rishabh Pant opened the batting but suffered horrible luck, getting run out at the non-striker's end for 7 (9) on a straight drive. Key contributions from Mitchell Marsh (35 off 28 ) and Abdul Samad (36 off 25) ensured the scoreboard kept moving despite challenging conditions, with both batters finding timely boundaries to steady the innings. However, wickets at regular intervals meant the innings concluded at 141 in 18.4 overs. Defending the total, LSG required early breakthroughs, and Mohd. Shami delivered an electrifying start on his franchise debut. Firing up the Lucknow crowd, Shami dismissed Delhi's newly acquired opener KL Rahul for a golden duck on the very first ball of the innings.
