Lucknow Super Giants owner Sanjiv Goenka won plenty of admiration after the team\u2019s hard-fought triumph over Sunrisers Hyderabad on Sunday, stepping onto the field to share a warm hug with skipper Rishabh Pant. The gesture perfectly matched the tone of Pant\u2019s captaincy, with the wicketkeeper-batter delivering under pressure to steer LSG to a dramatic five-wicket win with a ball to spare.<\/p>\n

Pant played a calm, match-winning hand as Lucknow chased 157, remaining unbeaten on 68 from 50 balls. Although LSG lost a couple of early wickets and had to navigate a wobble during the chase, Pant anchored the innings with grit and composure, eventually finding the winning boundary with one delivery left in the contest.<\/p>\n

After the final whistle, Goenka embraced Pant on the ground, and the pair were later seen exchanging cheerful words together amid the celebrations.<\/p>\n

LSG vs SRH: How the match unfolded<\/h2>\n
    \n
  1. In the IPL 2026 clash at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium on Sunday, Lucknow chased a target of 157 and began with a comfortable rhythm for much of the innings.<\/li>\n
  2. Sunrisers Hyderabad kept fighting back, pulling the contest into a tense finish by taking key wickets as LSG\u2019s chase tightened.<\/li>\n
  3. With the pressure rising, Pant took charge and steered the chase home, striking the winning boundary with one ball remaining.<\/li>\n
  4. On the penultimate delivery of the match, Pant drove Jaydev Unadkat over mid-off for four, sealing Lucknow\u2019s first win of the season.<\/li>\n
  5. Earlier in the day, Hyderabad managed to recover from an ugly start to finish their innings on 156 for 9.<\/li>\n
  6. After being sent in, SRH were set back early when Mohammed Shami dismissed Abhishek Sharma for a duck before removing Travis Head soon after.<\/li>\n
  7. Prince Yadav then struck to send Ishan Kishan back, leaving Hyderabad reeling at 11\/3.<\/li>\n
  8. Further trouble followed as wickets continued to fall, and when Liam Livingstone departed cheaply, the hosts slid to 35\/4 at the halfway point.<\/li>\n
  9. Heinrich Klaasen and Nitish Kumar Reddy then orchestrated a stunning recovery, rebuilding carefully before accelerating at the right moments.<\/li>\n
  10. Nitish punished the bowling with a flurry of sixes, while Klaasen consistently found gaps, and the pair put together a remarkable 116-run alliance for the fifth wicket.<\/li>\n
  11. Klaasen scored 62 off 41 balls, while Nitish struck 56 off just 33 deliveries, dragging the innings back into contention.<\/li>\n
  12. As the innings entered the final stages, Lucknow struck quickly as Avesh Khan and others tightened the noose, ensuring Hyderabad couldn\u2019t post an even bigger total.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
