Sanjiv Goenka goes over the moon after Rishabh Pant's century as LSG boss calls own captain ‘future of Indian cricket’

Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) owner Sanjiv Goenka went over the moon with a special praise for Rishabh Pant after the India wicketkeeper's 134 against England in the ongoing first Test against England in Leeds. In a match which saw India playing without the likes of Virat Kohli an Rohit Sharma, Pant's hundred, along with those of Shubman Gill and Yashasvi Jaiswal, marks the beginning of a new era.

Not only the troika scored hundreds, but also put India in complete control of the Test match on Day 2. Goenka didn't forget to mention Jaiswal and Gill but gave a special nod to his captain (Pant is the captain of LSG) for the audacity shown by the Indian wicketkeeper batter to reach his three-figure mark with a six.

“Three’s a charm with brilliant centuries from@ybj_19, @ShubmanGill, and now@RishabhPant17. Rishabh reaching his ton with a six speaks volumes about the future of Indian cricket. A commanding start to the series. #INDvsENG,” Goenka wrote on X.
