Tom Moody said at the press conference, as quoted by ESPNCricinfo: “From a captaincy point of view, you know, he's found it challenging, obviously, and the results reflect that. And you do have to wonder whether that is a pressure that is reflected in his performance with the bat. I know that this season has been a difficult season for us, but we will reflect on it; we'll take time, and we'll reflect on it. We'll consider all things.”

Later, LSG head coach Justin Langer expressed his disappointment with Rishabh Pant's performance both as captain and batter. Still, the team management does not want to blame only one player for the failure. Moody signed off by saying, “I think we're all responsible [for the disappointing season]. I don't think it's a time to point the finger at any individual.
I think we all take accountability, and now's not the time to be apportioning blame in any particular department. We all need time to reflect on it in a calm manner, but there are certain things that we do need to address, and those will be addressed.”
