After Lucknow Super Giants’ crushing 10-wicket loss to SRH, team owner Sanjiv Goenka was spotted engaged in an animated discussion with captain KL Rahul.
Following Lucknow Super Giants’ devastating 10-wicket defeat to SRH, team owner Sanjiv Goenka was captured in a video engaged in an animated conversation with captain KL Rahul. Goenka appeared visibly agitated, gesturing emphatically while Rahul remained composed, attempting to explain.
Commentators noted the tense exchange, expressing surprise at the public nature of the discussion, stating, “You always feel these conversations should be happening behind closed doors. There are so many cameras around and they miss nothing.”
On the match front, Abhishek Sharma and Travis Head led Sunrisers Hyderabad to a resounding 10-wicket victory over Lucknow Super Giants, chasing down 166 runs in just 9.4 overs. Despite Lucknow’s initial bowling success, they couldn’t contain SRH’s aggressive batting, as Sharma and Head dominated, achieving the highest score in under 10 overs in Indian T20 League history. KL Rahul’s decision not to use the impact player surprised many, adding to Lucknow’s woes.
After the match, Rahul expressed disbelief at the incredible performance of SRH openers. Rahul, watching from behind the stumps, was speechless as SRH set a new T20 record by chasing down 166 runs in the first 10 overs.
“I am lost for words. We have watched that batting on TV, but that was unreal,” Rahul said.
“Everything was hitting the middle of the bat. Kudos to their skill, they (Head and Abhishek) have worked very hard on their six-hitting. They didn’t give a chance to see what the wicket was playing like, it didn’t change much, but that mindset and freedom to tee off from ball one… the only way to stop them was wickets in the powerplay and we didn’t do that,” he added.
