After the loss to Gujarat Titans, LSG captain Rishabh Pant admitted that their batting fell short of expectations. "We definitely didn’t score enough runs.

Missed Opportunities

Pant acknowledged that while there were opportunities for LSG to seize control of the game, they couldn’t capitalize on key moments, remarking, "We just couldn’t grab it enough." Despite the setbacks, he remained optimistic about the team’s prospects.

Looking Ahead

Looking forward, Pant expressed confidence in his batting unit despite the team’s early struggles in the tournament.
