This year's season of the Indian Premier League (IPL) saw significant controversies. Still, the heated exchange between Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) owner Sanjeev Goenka and skipper KL Rahul made waves around the IPL 2024 and became a hot topic of discussion in the cricket world.

Following their crushing defeat against Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH), where SRH chased down 166 runs in just 9.4 overs, Goenka was caught on camera having a heated conversation with Rahul. 


Mishra Reveals Details of Goenka's Frustration

In an appearance on YouTuber Shubhankar Mishra's show 'Unplugged', LSG spinner Amit Mishra shed light on the confrontation.

 "He (Goenka) was disappointed. We lost two back-to-back matches very badly. Against KKR, we lost by some 90-100 runs, and against SRH, the match was finished within 10 overs. It felt like we were bowling them during a net practice session."

"It was not a huge deal. But I later came to know that he said that the bowling was very bad and the team should have shown some fight. It looked like you had completely surrendered. But I feel people and media hyped it up a bit."

There have been numerous reports suggesting that KL Rahul might not be retained by LSG for IPL 2025. However, no official statement has been issued from either the team or the player.

"It does not matter if he is in the Indian team or not. But a person who has the right mentality for T20s should be the captain. Someone who plays for the team should be the captain. I am sure LSG will look for a better captain."

Mishra also revealed Goenka's exact words during the heated exchange highlighting Goenka's frustration, underscoring the pressure on the team to perform better.

"He (Sanjiv Goenka) said ‘What was that bowling performance? At least, show some fight and not surrender like this.”

The incident had a significant impact on LSG's campaign, as they missed out on a qualification spot by just one point. This was the first time LSG did not finish in the top four.

Despite the controversy, the focus remains on whether KL Rahul will continue as LSG's captain in the next season.
