Sanjiv Goenka’s outburst on KL Rahul
Goenka came in the eye of the storm after his animated chat with LSG skipper KL Rahul was perceived as a public dressing down of the captain, after Sunrisers Hyderabad defeated Lucknow Super Giants by 10 wickets on May 8. The incident invited sharp reactions.
Soon after the conversation became public, reports also surfaced about Rahul leaving Lucknow Super Giants next season.
According to a Times of India report, LSG coach Justin Langer said that the conversation might have looked “aggressive, but it was quite tame".
“Our plan for the game didn’t go perfectly. In fact, it was a disaster. After the game, Mr Goenka came onto the field and asked KL, ‘What happened? Our plan that we talked about hasn’t worked. What do we do now?’ And then we talked through it. The sound was off, no one heard what was said. It might have looked quite aggressive, but it was really quite tame," Langer had said.
