Pant said the team fell short on runs and failed to make full use of the chances that came their way, with the surface offering less margin for error.<\/p>\n<h3>Quick facts<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>LSG were beaten by Gujarat Titans at the Ekana Cricket Stadium on Sunday.<\/li>\n<li>Rishabh Pant said the batting effort produced a total below par.<\/li>\n<li>He credited Gujarat\u2019s disciplined bowling for keeping LSG in check.<\/li>\n<li>Pant felt a score around 170\u2013180 would have been more competitive on that pitch.<\/li>\n<li>LSG will regroup ahead of their Wednesday match against Royal Challengers Bengaluru.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>\u201cDefinitely not enough runs,\u201d Pant said after the defeat, adding that the outcome couldn\u2019t be brushed aside by pointing to a strong bowling showing. He acknowledged that Gujarat\u2019s tight, consistent bowling plan played a major part in restricting LSG and controlling the tempo of the innings.<\/p>\n<p>Turning his attention to the wicket, Pant argued that the match would likely have looked different with a more substantial total. He said that on a track like that, 170 to 180 is typically a strong target\u2014then explained how the pitch behaved, with wickets continuing to fall and the visitors applying pressure until they managed to break through regularly.<\/p>\n<p>Even with the disappointment, Pant insisted there were still turning points where LSG could have pushed the contest their way. He said that although 170 to 180 was a good benchmark, opportunities remained during the innings; the issue, in his view, was that those chances weren\u2019t seized often enough across different phases of the game.<\/p>\n<h3>Patience as the tournament moves on<\/h3>\n<p>As the campaign continues, the LSG captain also urged calm and perspective. He pointed to the quality inside the batting group and said the tournament is only just getting underway, so the team would not force extra pressure on players\u2014especially the senior members, who, he believes, already know how to handle such moments.<\/p>\n<p>Pant also spoke about the natural ebb and flow of form in franchise cricket. He said there are times when performance doesn\u2019t come, but the environment in the camp remains strong, and he expects the side\u2019s batting to improve soon.<\/p>\n<p>With the sting of this result still fresh, Lucknow will aim to regroup quickly\u2014focusing on the batting concerns raised by this game. Their next assignment comes on Wednesday, when they face defending champions Royal Challengers Bengaluru in what will be an immediate chance to respond.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Lucknow Super Giants captain Rishabh Pant conceded that his side didn\u2019t get the batting job done after their loss to Gujarat Titans
