Last month, Goenka opened up on his bond with Rahul during Zaheer Khan's unveiling as their team mentor. "Look, I've been meeting KL regularly over last three years. I'm a little surprised this meeting got so much attention. As I've said we have not taken any call till the retention rules are out," Goenka told reporters. "But KL has been an integral and important part of the LSG family since inception. He's played a very important role. He's like family and will be family," he added. When asked about player retention and captaincy, Goenka said they are yet to arrive at a decision and are waiting for the BCCI to release the rules regarding retention. "We have all of September, October and November to decide that. Let the policies be out. We have not even thought about the team going forward, whether retention will be three-four-five or six, we have no clue," Goenka said.
