Rishabh Pant and Lucknow Super Giants is not the fairytale story which everyone expected it to be at the start of the season. 4 matches into the season and the LSG skipper once again flopped as Mumbai Indians captain, Hardik Pandya dismissed his counterpart with a brilliant delivery.

Goenka upset with Rishabh Pant

Pant was heading into the clash with Mumbai Indians on the back of 3 failures. He was already under pressure and he once again crumbled under the weight of 27 crore price tag as Hardik bowled a short of a length ball as Pant closes the bat face and gets a leading edge which the fielder at mid-off takes it easily.

After the wicket, LSG owner Sanjiv Goenka was shown on the big screen as he looked disgusted and was upset with the performance of his team captain.

Pant's horror IPL show continues

LSG splashed out 27 crores to buy Rishabh Pant in the mega auction and the decision now looks like a blunder as four matches in and Pant has not had a single match-winning performance.

He started out with a duck against his former team, Delhi Capitals, and the caravan continued with low scores against Sunrisers Hyderabad and Punjab Kings. Expectations were high for this game, but Pant had another horror show.

LSG breach 200-run mark

Despite their skipper failing, LSG managed to go past the 200-run mark as they scored 203/8. Just like the previous games, Mitch Marsh gave a flying start and scored another half-century. The star for Mumbai Indians was Hardik Pandya, who picked up a brilliant fifer to derail LSG's momentum.
