In the 2025 Indian Premier League (IPL), Sanjeev Goenka’s team performed poorly. Their performance hasn’t improved in England either. The team has lost 6 out of 8 matches. In the 20th match of The Hundred League, Trent Rockets defeated Sanjeev Goenka’s team by 7 wickets. A 21-year-old player put up a stunning performance with both ball and bat, leading to the team’s defeat. Despite having a player from the Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB), the IPL 2025 champions, as captain, Sanjeev Goenka continues to face disappointment.
