LSG Owner Sanjiv Goenka Praises Nita Ambani: ‘No IPL Owner Has Matched Her Contribution

Owner of the Lucknow Super Giants (LSG), Sanjiv Goenka, commended Nita Ambani for her successful team-building strategy and said he admired her attitude. Although he stated that he has not yet attained the same degree of accomplishment, he expressed his wish to use a similar approach.

Owner Sanjiv Goenka of the Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) spoke highly of Nita Ambani’s attitude and commended her for her successful team-building strategy. Even if he hasn’t had the same degree of success, he indicated that he would want to use a similar approach.

With five titles between them, the Chennai Super Kings (CSK) and Mumbai Indians (MI) are tied for the most IPL victories. Several of MI’s less well-known acquisitions have gone on to gain spots in the Indian national team, demonstrating the organization’s reputation for developing new talent.

In a video posted to his “Aakash Chopra” YouTube channel, the former India opener questioned Goenka on whether teams consider sponsorship while selecting players.

Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma, and MS Dhoni are all well-known brands. As of the now, there isn’t a single player in Lucknow who would draw in sponsors or marketers. Although brands are one consideration, Rishabh (Pant) undoubtedly possesses the X-factor. When you plan a squad, that isn’t actually taken into account. He said, “You are assembling a team to win.” (8:40).

“I’m determined to have a strong Indian core. In my opinion, no franchise owner in Mumbai has likely accomplished what Nita Ambani has. I respect, appreciate, and wish I could follow them, but I can’t. But with a strong Indian core, some of us have considered the upcoming year, while others have considered the following two to four years,” Goenka continued.

While acknowledging that Mayank Yadav might not play in all 14 league games during the 2025 Indian Premier League, Sanjiv Goenka underlined that the Lucknow Super Giants are making long-term investments in him. He said that Akash Deep is viewed by the team’s brain tank as a remarkable bowler who is ready to succeed in Twenty20 cricket.
