Lucknow Super Giants captain Rishabh Pant commented on modern pitch conditions, noting that the advantage of batting or bowling first is minimal. He explained the decision to field first, describing it as an excellent opportunity. Pant emphasized the value of every victory, particularly those that demonstrate team resilience. However, he stressed the need to focus on each game individually and perform at their peak.
