The Lucknow Super Giants suffered a significant loss to the Sunrisers Hyderabad on May 8, which did not sit well with team owner Sanjiv Goenka. He was seen in a heated exchange with team captain KL Rahul on the field.
A video capturing this argument quickly went viral, drawing widespread criticism from online communities.
Many social media users lambasted Goenka for his interaction with the player, especially after LSG’s substantial loss to the Pat Cummins-led team, complicating their position in the playoff contention.
The team’s poor showing, particularly from the LSG bowlers and top-order batsmen, during the IPL game at Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium left fans disheartened. Nevertheless, the public censure of KL Rahul by Goenka sparked significant outrage among supporters.
