Fans react
Lucknow’s owner Sanjiv Goenka had expressed his frustration on the field and spoke to the team’s captain KL Rahul after the Lucknow team suffered a bad defeat in this match. A related video is going viral on social media.
Fans commenting on this video are bashing Lucknow owner Sanjeev Goenka. They are posting that it is very bad manners to question the captain Rahul in a public place for a bad defeat the team has suffered and look how the owners of other teams treat their captains.
“Didn’t expect this from someone like Sanjeev Goenka. The anger is right. But don’t be disrespectful like this. A couple of games ago, everyone praised him when he won by a minimum score.” A fan posted that.
“KL Rahul is a great T20 player and a handy captain. But publicly condemning a player you have chosen to lead your team is completely inappropriate, unkind and unnecessary. This is shameful behavior by Sanjeev Goenka.” Said another fan.
“The owner of this Lucknow team, Sanjeev Goenka, what does he know about cricket enough to advise KL Rahul? It is despicable to insult an international cricketer representing the Indian team!” Another fan posted that.
“I’m not a fan of KL Rahul but it’s very disturbing to see the bad behavior of LSG owner Sanjeev Goenka. It’s completely unprofessional and unacceptable behavior displayed by the owner,” a fan posted.
I’m lost for words,
It wasn’t expected from someone like Sanjiv Goenka sir. The anger is valid but the disrespect is not. A couple of games back everyone was praising him for defending low totals.
Be a die hard fan of an individual (your fav player) but not a franchise!!! pic.twitter.com/AniaZDajPs— Juman Sarma (@cool_rahulfan) May 9, 2024
KL Rahul took LSG to the playoffs twice, yet he is getting this belt treatment, just imagine what kind of belt treatment Sanjiv Goenka would’ve been given to Dhoni when RPS finished at the bottom of the table under his captaincy.💀 pic.twitter.com/syx8N6RMga

Yes, KL Rahul is a terrible T20 player and a pretty ordinary captain too. But publicly reprimanding a player YOU have chosen to lead your franchise is absolutely classless, graceless and unwarranted. Shameful behavior from Sanjiv Goenka! #SRHvLSG #IPL2024 pic.twitter.com/ZP3ZGcdZl2

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!
It’s like the king abusing the slave!#LSGvSRH #IPLCricket2024 pic.twitter.com/r3xYFHw9hj— Anu Sehgal 🇮🇳 (@anusehgal) May 8, 2024
LSG owner Sanjiv Goenka behaved disrespectfully with KL Rahul after LSG lost badly, Dhanna Seth Goenka forgot the sportsmanship, no owner has ever behaved so disrespectfully even after a big loss, shame on him!!#LSGvsSRH #SRHvsLSG #KLRahul #SanjivGoenka pic.twitter.com/jaIErt5zii
