Hyderabad: Lucknow Supergiants captain KL Rahul publicly expressed his anger at Lucknow Supergiants captain KL Rahul, who suffered a heavy defeat against Sunrisers Hyderabad in a must-win game to sustain the play-off hopes in the IPL. The footage of Goenka and Rahul’s conversation at the stadium after the match went viral on social media.
Sanjeev Goenka’s face showed his displeasure with the team’s poor performance. It is clear in the film that Goenka is gesturing with his hands in such a way that he does not want to hear anything and Rahul does not accept what he is saying and points out mistakes on the field. But some fans feel that the Lucknow boss could have at least waited until he reached the dressing room instead of publicly humiliating Rahul over the loss.
IPL Orange Cap: Travis Head hits ‘500’ by beating Sanju’s third; Kohli to take the lead
Hyderabad batsmen Travis Head and Abhishek Sharma scored 165 runs in 20 overs for the loss of four wickets in 9.4 overs. After the match, when asked about the batting of the Hyderabad openers, Rahul said that he was at a loss for words and that their performance was unbelievable. Lucknow’s Rahul said that they can hit every ball in the middle and appreciated their ability and said that even if Lucknow had scored 240-250 runs, Hyderabad would have won sometimes.
LSG owner Sanjeev Goenka is upset with KL Rahul for the loss against SRH.
He has the right to be upset but he cannot humiliate a senior 🇮🇳 Indian player in public.

Apart from the loss, criticism was also raised against the batting of Rahul, who played the Test as an opener in the Lucknow innings. Despite playing in the powerplay, Rahul scored 29 runs off 33 balls. Rahul hit a six in the second over bowled by Cummins and then hit a boundary in the tenth over. In the powerplay, Lucknow scored 27 runs for the loss of two wickets while Hyderabad scored 107 runs without losing a wicket.
This shameful behavior by goenka.
Shud be banned asap from ipl.
He doesn’t deserve a captain like rahul or msd. pic.twitter.com/J0U9hne8Nv
