KL Rahul was at the receiver’s end publicly when LSG owner Sanjiv Goenka lashed out to him after their loss against Sunrisers Hyderabad.

New Delhi: All is not well in the Lucknow Super Giants camp after captain KL Rahul reportedly didn’t travel to the National Capital to play their game against Delhi Capitals in the ongoing IPL 2024. Rahul was at the receiver’s end of LSG owner Sanjiv Goenka’s public outburst following their humiliating defeat to Sunrisers Hyderabad by 10 wickets. It was a major setback for the LSG as they dropped down in terms of net run-rate.

While it is still unsure whether Rahul will be directly joining the team on the match day (May 14), his absence on the travel day raised quite a few eyebrows. Rahul’s absence was visible when the right-handed batter was nowhere to be seen in a video put up by the franchise on their official Instagram profile.

Meanwhile, the heated exchange has surely had an impact in the interiors of LSG. It is learnt that the players were advised to refrain from posting anything on social media. Even, the franchise themselves posted just once on May 12 since the incident on May 8. Notably, Goenka too restricted his comments section on Instagram following that incident, since he received all the backlash from social media.
