LSG owner misbehaves with KL Rahul, fans angry

Last night in IPL 2024, Sunrisers Hyderabad openers Abhishek Sharma and Travis Head gave a crushing defeat to Lucknow Super Giants by 10 wickets in the chase. After this, Lucknow franchise owner Sanjeev Goenka was seen having a long conversation with captain KL Rahul near the team dugout. Anger could be seen on Goenka's face. The conversation between the two could not be heard, but after watching the video it is certain that KL Rahul's class was taken. Now this video is becoming increasingly viral on social media, seeing which fans are getting angry.

Huge uproar on social media

It is beyond comprehension that LSG owner Sanjiv Goenka, disappointed with the defeat, behaved rudely towards an international player. Goenka may have forgotten the spirit of the game. Well, this is the first time that any IPL franchise has done such an absurd thing with the players on the field. Now despite the poor performance, people have come out in support of KL Rahul on social media.

This should be discussed behind closed doors and not in front of the world?

When this animated conversation between Sanjiv Goenka and KL Rahul was being telecast live, the on-air commentators also gave their opinion on the whole matter. Former New Zealand all-rounder Scott Styris said, 'Such conversations should always happen behind closed doors. There are many cameras that leave nothing behind. Now when KL Rahul will go to various events like award ceremonies and press conferences, perhaps telling what was being discussed there, Rahul has done a good job of keeping himself calm here.

KL Rahul made many mistakes

When the toss fell in favor of KL Rahul, without wasting any time he decided to bat first, then experienced fast bowler Bhuvneshwar Kumar ruined Hyderabad's entire plan. He took two wickets for 7 runs in the powerplay. Lucknow scored 27/2, which is their lowest score in the history of powerplay. Captain KL Rahul looked very defensive, due to which the team was successful in taking the team's score beyond 50 runs in the 10th over. Rahul also got out in the same over. He scored 29 runs on 33 balls. This was the first time that his strike rate remained below 100 even after playing more than 30 balls. Young Ayush Badoni scored 55 runs in 30 balls and with the help of experienced Nicholas Pooran's unbeaten 48 runs in 26 balls, Lucknow scored 165/4, which Hyderabad achieved in just 9.4 overs without losing any wicket.
