LSG Owner Sanjeev Goenka Issues Stern Warning to Rishabh Pant: 'Play-offs Not Enough!'
•LSG owner Sanjeev Goenka has sent a strong message to captain Rishabh Pant ahead of the new IPL season, stating that merely reaching the play-offs is insufficient.
•Goenka emphasized that the team's ultimate goal is to win the trophy, as championships define a team's true identity.
•Rishabh Pant was brought in for 27 crore rupees and made captain after KL Rahul's release, but the team finished seventh in 2025.
•Goenka dismissed rumors of Pant's release, attributing last season's performance to injury problems and highlighting the need for team coordination.
•Despite individual performances and a strong start last season, LSG lacked team unity, which Goenka believes is crucial for winning their first IPL trophy.
