NEW DELHI: Rishabh Pant did not hide his frustration after Lucknow Super Giants suffered their ninth defeat of the season, but the skipper made it clear that one result — or an entire disappointing campaign — would not change how he views his side. After LSG’s seven-wicket defeat to Rajasthan Royals in Jaipur on Tuesday, Pant dropped a rare F-bomb while backing his dressing room, insisting the team’s quality remained intact despite elimination from the playoff race. “We are proud as a team regardless of what our situation is right now.
The kind of team we have, we know we can win this. Regardless of anything, we are confident enough as a team and as individuals,” Pant said after the match. “It hasn’t gone our way, and everyone knows that, but that doesn’t take away the fact that we are a f***ing good team.
” Pant backs team despite another collapse LSG had looked in control after posting 220/5 on a flat Sawai Mansingh Stadium surface, but the total proved insufficient as RR chased it down in just 19. 1 overs. Teen sensation Vaibhav Sooryavanshi tore into the attack with a 38-ball 93, leaving Pant’s bowlers with no answers.
