Are Lucknow Super Giants already fretting over two losses from three games? At least, the recent incident after their match against Punjab Kings, which they lost, suggests that the promoters aren't particularly happy with the way their team is playing.

Sources told MyKhel that one of the LSG promoters was supposed to be there as a host in Lucknow at the post-match presentation ceremony - as a part of the decorum from the home team. But none from the LSG side attended the post-match presentation despite some of them being seen on the field right after their Punjab game got over.

This incident raised eyebrows within IPL, especially, after the way LSG owner Sanjeev Goenka was seen reprimanding KL Rahul after losing a game last year. Questions are also raised whether LSG are bad losers and how they need to sort out their thinking before hitting the ground running.

However, LSG completely denied the development. A top official from LSG revealed that there was no such arrangement that had to be followed. The official also said that LSG owner Goenka doesn't attend post-match ceremonies at all. "Mr Goenka was on the field and there was no such arrangement at all," the official said.

Sources also revealed that the post-match ceremony guest list had the name of Goenka on it, which was cancelled later. "If that is the case, LSG should have sent one of their franchise officials for the post-match presentation?" a source added.
