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.
