KL Rahul must leave LSG, Goenka’s behaviour unacceptable; internet furious

Netizens slammed Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) owner Sanjiv Goenka for humiliating captain KL Rahul in full view of the television cameras after the team’s humiliating defeat against Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) during a match of the Indian Premier League (IPL).

SRH restricted LSG to 165 for four and then chased down the target in just 9.4 overs with all 10 wickets in hand thanks to the blistering opening partnership of 167 between Travis Head (89 n o) and Abhishek Sharma (75 no).

Following the development, Goenka had a heated chat with Rahul who kept quiet most of the time.

Netizens were quick to pull up Goenka for his rude behaviour in public. Several fans slammed Goenka over various social media platforms by terming the act of LSG owner as unacceptable. Some of them were also of the opinion that KL Rahul must leave the franchise after IPL 2024.

What the hell is this? What is really happening. Owners who know nothing about cricket shouldn't approach their captain in this way. The whole thing is embarrassing for him and us. He plays for India ffs.
