April 2, 2025: His teacher, Lockenno Super Gains (LSG), Zuhair Khan, expressed his frustration with the conditions of the stadium after the team suffered from an eight -real defeat in their home in IPL 2025.
Zuhair Khan, speaking at the press conference after the match, indicated that the stadium does not seem designed for the host team. “What was a little disappointing for me here … Given that it is a home game, and in the IPL, I saw how the difference looked at taking a little home feature, from this point of view I saw that the coordinator is not really thinking that it is a home game. I think it might look, as you know, the Punjab coordinator was here,” according to Zaher, such as Espncricinfo.
He continued to express his concern about the lack of support for the host team, saying: “This is something we will discover. It is a new preparation for me, but I hope this is the first and last game when it comes to this. Because you are disappointed by Father Leno’s fan also. They have come up with many expectations of winning the first match here.”

Despite the loss, Zuhair stressed the team’s confidence and flexibility, and promised that LSG would continue to fight. “As one team, we are confident. We accept that we lost the game, and we must do everything it takes to make this effect on the home leg. We still have six other games to go here, and this team has shown in the season so far, whatever the small cricket game that has been played, and we have the right and mental look to look at the iPL,” he said.
The stadium’s effect was particularly perceived in the Poling Strategy in LSG. With injuries to reduce their fast options, they hoped to get a surface that would prefer to rotate or at least neutralize the Punjab Kings (PBKS) attack. However, they were forced to present only two front lines, including Shadul Thakur, which was added at the last minute. PBKS benefited from the circumstances with a triple pace of Arshdeep Singh, Lockie Ferguson and Marco Jansen, who together took 5 share compared to 112 runs in 13 amounts.
Zuhair admitted not to match the expectations and reality, saying: “This is what we say. We will go according to what the coordinator tells us.
The captain of the LSG Rishabh Pant team was also weighed on the field conditions, and revealed that the team was expecting a slower path, which led to their decision to replace Prince Yadaf in Seamer Middle. “The idea was to get a slower share. We felt it was a home game; it would have stopped a little. I think the slowdown, when he was wandering in the wikit, they were still sticking, but we were not good enough a day. We have to learn and move forward.”
This concern about the stadium conditions is not unique for LSG. Kolkata Knight Rides (KKR) and Chennai Super Kings (CSK) also expressed similar frustrations. KKR expressed her desire to get more friendly surfaces, while CSK faced, although the best record of winning at home in the history of the IPL, has faced difficulty in predicting conditions in stocks in recent years.
LSG is now looking for their remaining home games, hoping to change things as they continue to evaluate and adapt to the conditions in Leno.
