After this decision of the franchise, the fans of this team were also seen very angry. After this, there was speculation on social media that Rohit might leave Mumbai Indians before IPL 2025. Meanwhile, news also came that Lucknow has saved Rs 50 crore to buy Rohit. Now a big statement has come from LSG owner Sanjiv Goenka regarding these rumours. Recently, during an interview on Sports Tak, Sanjiv Goenka was asked whether it is true that he has kept a purse of Rs 50 crore for himself to buy Rohit. Sanjiv Goenka believes that any team will benefit from a player like Rohit Sharma, but it would not be right to spend such a huge amount on him. Sanjeev Goenka gave a big statement on buying Rohit Sharma Sanjeev Goenka said that “Nobody knows whether Rohit Sharma is participating in the auction or not? It depends on whether Mumbai Indians will release Rohit. Still, if Rohit participates in the auction and if you spend 50 percent of the purse amount on him, then how will you be able to buy other players. Everyone wants a good player and captain. It depends on what you have and what you can do with it?” Let us tell you that before IPL 2025, Lucknow Super Giants has appointed former Indian veteran fast bowler Zaheer Khan as the new mentor of the team. Earlier Gautam Gambhir was the mentor of LSG but last season Gambhir joined his old team Kolkata Knight Riders. Now Zaheer Khan will be seen in this new role.

The Almora-born shuttler missed out on a bronze medal at Paris 2024, but Sen received a lot of praise after beating several high-ranked opponents during the Olympic Games. Lakshya Sen impressed everyone with his game at the Paris Olympics 2024. After the semi-finals, he had to face a close defeat in the bronze medal match. If he had won the medal, he would have become the first male badminton player from India. However, he could not do so. Recently Lakshya Sen talked about his goals in the coming days. His goal is to become one of the biggest players of Indian badminton. He has clearly said that he wants to make a name for himself in badminton just like Virat Kohli has a name in cricket. I want to become the Virat Kohli of Indian badminton in the coming years – Lakshya Sen When Lakshya Sen was asked in the TRS podcast that you are called the Virat Kohli of Indian badminton, do you take this as a compliment?

Lakshya has definitely disappointed in Paris but this player is just 23 years old and is hardworking, he is going to live badminton. Because of this, we can hope that Lakshya will do wonders in the Olympics to be held in Los Angeles in 2028 and will bring a medal for the country.
