Lucknow Super Giants owner Sanjiv Goenka’s reaction to Rishabh Pant’s season-ending century in the IPL 2025 sent social media into a frenzy. Pant had a tough season, scoring only 151 runs in the first 12 innings at a strike rate of 107.09. However, he rediscovered his form in the final league game, smashing an unbeaten 118 runs. Goenka, who was not present at the Ekana Stadium during the match, couldn’t contain his excitement and expressed it with a one-word reaction on social media.
Pant struggled with his form throughout the season but turned things around with a brilliant performance in the final game. He played aggressively, forming a 152-run partnership with Mitchell Marsh. Bhuvneshwar Kumar eventually ended Marsh’s innings, but Pant continued his onslaught, scoring his first IPL century in seven years.
Goenka praised Pant’s performance on X (formerly Twitter) with the word “Pant’astic!” along with images of Pant’s celebratory somersault. Pant’s century helped Lucknow set a massive target of 228 runs, despite already being eliminated from the playoffs race after losing seven out of 13 matches.
