It is being said that several key decisions were influenced by Moody, especially around batting combinations and player roles, which created confusion and a lack of stability in the team. The journalist claimed that the LSG team was completely run by Moody throughout the 2026 season, and Pant had almost no power as a captain.

During the tournament, Pant many times expressed his frustration over so much noise and opinion inside the dressing room, but the real story is far more surprising. It is being said that the LSG support staff has cancelled Pant’s plans and strategies and his own batting-position decisions.
Moody and the team often made the final call on batting positions, leaving Pant in difficult situations. There were also tactical disagreements during the tournament. The left-hander didn’t want certain players in the playing XI, but still, the team management drafted them.

Pat was simply not allowed to bat at his preferred position and lead the team on his way. Even the Indian wicketkeeper-batter mid-season approached Sanjiv Goenka, and even he wanted him to continue as captain, but he was not allowed to do things in his way, and eventually, he resigned.
