"We wanted to play according to the situation" - LSG captain Rishabh Pant after the win vs MI in IPL 2025

At the post-match presentation, Lucknow skipper Rishabh Pant said the team management initially wanted a different kind of pitch at their home venue, but are now okay to play on the available surface. He said (via ESPNcricinfo):

"I think one thing is sure: that the wicket is playing well, we need to figure out what is working for us and what is not. At first, we wanted a different kind of a wicket but then we decided to play on the wicket offered.

Reviewing his team's performance, Pant added:

"We know a player of Marsh's caliber starts off well and gives the middle order a chance to play well. We wanted to play according to the situation, so our lower order batted well in the end. Mentally, it was tough for all of us. They kept the momentum going, and we held our nerves to help the game end in our favor. He (Shardul) has been an amazing pick for us. Let's back him and keep him on the side. Good to see him (Digvesh) do well."

LSG will face the Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) in their next match of IPL 2025 on Tuesday (April 8) at Eden Gardens in Kolkata.
