Hyderabad: Sunrisers Hyderabad have defeated Lucknow Super Giants in the 57th match of the 17th season of the Indian Premier League. Hyderabad won by 10 wickets. Lucknow was losing without even a fight. What is being talked about more than Lucknow’s loss is the team owner’s shout at Lucknow captain KL Rahul after the match. Team owner Sanjeev Goenka was very disappointed after the huge loss.

IPL 2024: LSG owner shouts at Rahul in Katta Kalip! Will the captaincy slip?

After the match ended, Sanjeev came onto the field and publicly insulted Rahul. It is a fact that Rahul’s poor performance contributed to Lucknow’s defeat. However, the fans say that it was not right to insult Rahul like this. The fans pointed out that the Lucknow owner had behaved disrespectfully and insulted the aspiring hero for losing a match.

Winning and losing is natural when it comes to cricket. But reprimanding the hero for defeat in public is unacceptable. The owner of Lucknow, RCB and Punjab Kings should watch and learn from all the team members. Despite playing since the first season, RCB are yet to win the title. And yet the team managers support them throughout the season. RCB owner has never misbehaved with Virat Kohli.

IPL 2024: Rahul Loka Mandan, these mistakes are unforgivable! The captaincy should be vacant; Criticism is strong

Punjab Kings owner Preeti Sinda supports the Punjab team in most of the matches. Punjab is the unbeaten team again. Still, Preeti doesn’t hesitate to support the stars. Fans point out that Lucknow owner Sanjay should be ready to set an example for all of them. Anyway, the misbehavior of the team owner with Rahul has been a big topic of discussion. There are reports that Rahul is likely to leave the team.

Rahul is also likely to stay away from the playing 11 in the upcoming matches. There are also indications that Nicholas Purana may take the captaincy of Lucknow. But the reason Lucknow lost to Hyderabad was because of Rahul’s wrong decisions. Let’s just say this pissed off the team owner. Despite receiving the toss in favour, Rahul chose to bat first. But Rahul came out as an opener and showed Test-like batting.

IPL 2024: 19 off 24 balls, Rahul disaster in powerplay! The Lucknow captain is not the villain

Rahul scored 19 runs off 24 balls in the power play. His strike rate was just 77. Rahul got out after scoring 29 runs off 33 balls. It was an unacceptable performance as a skipper and opener. Rahul blames the pitch but this is unacceptable. Neither the fans nor the team expect such a poor performance from a senior player with a good record like Rahul.

Rahul’s bowling mistakes also drew a lot of criticism. It was a big mistake to use Krishnappa Gautam in the power play and not use the impact player. It was a big mistake by Rahul to use only one pacer like Naveen ul Haq against a strong batting team like Hyderabad.

Not using Krunal Pandya’s bowling was also a wrong decision by Rahul. Anyway, the going forward is tough for Rahul with Lucknow. Anyway, despite Rahul’s poor performance, his fans are coming out to support him.
