Lucknow Super Giants were handed an absolute pasting by SunRisers Hyderabad in the Indian Premier League 2024 (IPL 2024) match at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium in Hyderabad. SRH chased down the target of 167 in just 9.4 overs and that too without losing a wicket. Openers Travis Head and Abhishek Sharma scored unbeaten 89 and 75 respectively to hand LSG a 10-wicket defeat. After the shambolic defeat, LSG owner, who also attended the match, was seen involved in an intense conversation with captain KL Rahul. It appeared as if Goenka was fuming about the defeat in an important clash for LSG. Even the commentator was heard saying, "these conversations should be happening behind the doors". The video of the discussion between Goenka and Rahul is now viral on the internet.

I am neither an IPL fan nor #KLRahul ‘s! But the open dressing down by the promoter Sanjiv Goenka of Lucknow Super Giants to KL Rahul is in bad taste!
