But Sunil Narine then bowled a good Super Over for KKR and helped his team win.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"8\"\/>Two decisions of LSG captain Rishabh Pant came under heavy criticism \u2014 giving Digvesh Rathi the final over, where Rinku Singh hit four sixes in a row, and sending Nicholas Pooran in for the Super Over.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"12\"\/>After the match, Pant said, &#8220;Too many minds don&#8217;t make it easy on the ground.&#8221;<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"14\"\/>Pollock said such a statement from the captain was not ideal because it sounded like he was pointing fingers at the management group.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"16\"\/>&#8220;It isn&#8217;t really good that it is coming from the captain because he is basically saying there are too many people giving me information and he is kind of under the bus-ing the management group that they have got,&#8221; Pollock said on Cricbuzz.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"19\"\/> <\/p>\n<div class=\"wLCOS vdo_embedd\">\n<div class=\"ap_Bf\">\n<div class=\"ZM4zO\">\n<p><i class=\"bo2C4\"\/> <span>Watch<\/span><\/p>\n<p> <!-- -->Is Pant making the calls, or are too many minds spoiling Lucknow?<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"22\"\/>He also said it is difficult to judge the situation fully because outsiders do not know how decisions are made inside the LSG dressing room.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"24\"\/>&#8220;Maybe we don&#8217;t know how it works; that is the problem. You don&#8217;t know who has the final call, you don&#8217;t know who sits with him and gives him the understanding of what they feel, or who has the discussions with him,&#8221; Pollock added.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"26\"\/>Pant, however, also spoke about the need for the whole team to take responsibility after the defeat.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"29\"\/>At the post-match presentation, he said the team needed a short break to reset and deal with the pressure better.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"31\"\/>&#8220;I think we definitely need a break. I think we&#8217;re gonna refresh. There is always pressure, and it&#8217;s gonna be a pressure game always, but at the same time, we have to look for answers inside, not outside. And just keep it simple. We need to take accountability &#8211; every guy. Like, it can&#8217;t be about one or two guys. It has to be about the whole unit, and a lot of people will take accountability for that for sure,&#8221; Pant said.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"33\"\/><\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/timesofindia.indiatimes.com\/sports\/cricket\/ipl\/ipl-2026\/too-many-minds-dont-make-it-easy-did-rishabh-pant-throw-lsg-management-under-the-bus\/articleshow\/130559327.cms\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Former South Africa cricketer Shaun Pollock believes Rishabh Pant\u2019s comments after Lucknow Super Giants\u2019 Super Over loss to Kolkata Knight Riders may have indirectly put the blame on the team management.After LSG lost to KKR in the Super Over, Pant said that having too many opinions during the game made decision-making difficult.The match had gone [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":9668,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[263],"tags":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-9667","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-sports"},"amp_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/banitoday.com\/hi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9667","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/banitoday.com\/hi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/banitoday.com\/hi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/banitoday.com\/hi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/banitoday.com\/hi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=9667"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/banitoday.com\/hi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9667\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/banitoday.com\/hi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/9668"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/banitoday.com\/hi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=9667"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/banitoday.com\/hi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=9667"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/banitoday.com\/hi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=9667"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
