Lucknow Super Giants captain Rishabh Pant inserted himself into yet another controversy after he used obscene language on live television during the post-match interview after the RR vs LSG game. The Super Giants, who have already been eliminated from the IPL 2026 playoffs race, were handed a 7-wicket thrashing by the Rajasthan Royals in Jaipur on Tuesday. In a bid to defend his team’s poor performance in the season, Pant used the ‘F’ word on live television while he was being interviewed.
Rishabh Pant drops the ‘F’ bomb on live TV
Speaking at the post-match interview after the RR vs LSG game, Pant said that he was very proud of the team, irrespective of how the season has been for them. As he admitted that things did not go their way, he casually dropped the ‘F’ bomb while defending his side, dubbing them as a ‘good unit’.
“We are proud of the team, regardless of how the situation is. Regardless of the table, we are confident of the team. 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,” Rishabh Pant said in the post-match interview.

What happened in RR vs LSG match?
RR chased down the 221-run target against LSG to stay alive in the IPL 2026 playoff race. It was Vaibhav Sooryavanshi’s storm that powered the chase. The 15-year-old smashed 93 off 38 balls to dictate the pace after Yashasvi Jaiswal hit 23-ball 43. Dhruv Jurel finished things off with an unbeaten 38-ball 53.
Earlier, sent to bat, Mitchell Marsh’s 96-run knock off 57 balls allowed LSG to reach a mammoth total of 220/5 at the end of 20 overs. Marsh and Josh Inglis (60 off 29) provided the perfect start for LSG, as RR struggled to get wickets. A 64-run partnership between Rishabh Pant (35 off 23) and Marsh allowed LSG to keep the scoreboard ticking. Jofra Archer picked up two wickets in the last over, apart from Marsh being run out, to help wind up LSG’s innings at 220/5.
