LSG Owner Sanjiv Goenka Was Unhappy With KL Rahul-Led Team’s Approach With Bat in IPL 2024 Match vs SRH – REPORT

Hyderabad: LSG owner Sanjiv Goenka’s outburst on KL Rahul was caught on camera after the humiliating loss against Sunrisers Hyderabad at the Uppal stadium. While it became the talk of the town, none actually knew the reason behind it. Speculations were rife over what could have been the reason for Goenka’s action. As per a report in the Indian Express, the LSG owner was unhappy with the way his team batted, he was questioning the side’s approach with the bat in a high-scoring venue. A couple of members from the LSG unit revealed that things are back to usual at the LSG camp as Rahul has gone about his daily routine without any changes.

Following the defeat, Rahul seemed to be at a ‘loss for words’ and he claimed it as well, labelling the SRH batting as ‘unreal’.

“Am lost for words. We have watched that kind of batting on tv. But this is unreal batting. Everything seemed to find the middle of the bat. Kudos to their skills. They have worked hard on their six hitting skills. They didn’t give us a chance to know what the pitch played in the second innings. Was hard to stop them as they teed off from ball one,” Rahul said at the post-match presentation following the 10-wicket defeat.

Earlier, Travis Head hammered 30 balls 89 and Abhishek Sharma slammed 75 off 38 as Sunrisers Hyderabad thrashed Lucknow Super Giants by ten wickets and chased down the target of 166 runs in just 9.4 overs.

The Super Giants are still alive in the playoff race, but yes, the equation is extremely stiff.
