Lucknow Super Giants had slumped to an embarrassing defeat in their IPL 2024 match at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium in Hyderabad on Wednesday night after which the official broadcaster showed footage of Goenka publicly giving a talking down to skipper Rahul, which has generated a lot of heat on social media with fans taking umbrage to the owner taking on the skipper in front of the cameras.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Some media reports on Thursday claimed that Goenka reportedly apologised to Rahul after getting thrashed on social media. Some reports also claimed that Rahul might be relieved of captaincy captain and vice-captain Nicholas Pooran put in charge instead.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Reports also suggested that Rahul won\u2019t be picked in the auction to be held at the end of the year.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
However, sources close to LSG refuted these rumours and said, \"Everything is fine between the two\" and \"only Rahul will be leading the team this season\".<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\u201cIt\u2019s all rumours that Rahul will be displaced from the captaincy and won\u2019t be picked in the auction. The last match didn\u2019t go our way, but everything is fine now between the team and owners. Rahul is in good space and taking rest before the game against DC,\u201d sources close to LSG told IANS.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Another source also confirmed that Rahul will be heading to Mumbai to spend some time with his family and will join the team two days before the next match.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
SRH stormed through to a 10-wicket victory over LSG, courtesy of an explosive batting show from opening duo Travis Head and Abhishek Sharma.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
After LSG won the toss and opted to bat first, they were restricted to a below-par total of 165, with skipper Rahul playing a sluggish knock of 29 in 33 balls. Ayush Badoni's (55 in 30) and Nicholas Pooran's (48 in 26) 99-run partnership gave the LSG a respectable finish.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
In reply, Head (89 in 30) and Abhishek (75 in 28) wreaked havoc on the LSG bowlers as SRH chased down the target of 166 runs in just 9.4 overs.<\/p>\r\n\r\n", "image": "https:\/\/img.cricketnmore.com\/uploads\/2024\/05\/ipl-2024-only-kl-rahul-will-lead-lsg-everything-is-fine-between-team-and-owner-sources.JPG", "alt_img": "IPL 2024: Only KL Rahul will lead LSG, everything is fine between team and owner: Sources", "alt_title": "Hyderabad: IPL match between Sunrisers Hyderabad and Lucknow Super Giants", "image1": null, "video": null, "seo_title": "IPL 2024: Only KL Rahul Will Lead LSG, Everything Is Fine Between Team And Owner: Sources On Cricketnmore", "seo_desc": "IPL 2024: Only KL Rahul Will Lead LSG, Everything Is Fine Between Team And Owner: Sources, Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium: The animated chat on-field between Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) owner Sanjiv Goenka and skipper K.L Rahul.", "seo_keywords": "Lucknow Super Giants, Sanjiv Goenka, Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium, IANS Photos, New Delhi, Sunrisers Hyderabad, Nicholas Pooran, Travis Head, Abhishek Sharma, After LSG, Ayush Badoni", "tag": "", "tagging": "Lucknow Super Giants, Sanjiv Goenka, Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium, IANS Photos, New Delhi, Sunrisers Hyderabad, Nicholas Pooran, Travis Head, Abhishek Sharma, After LSG, Ayush Badoni", "status": "1", "img_rpt": "0", "google": "1", "standout": "0", "edapps": "0", "pulse": "0", "no_index": "0", "feed": "0", "fixture": null, "slug": "ipl-2024-only-kl-rahul-will-lead-lsg-everything-is-fine-between-team-and-owner-sources", "user_id": "0", "read_count": "0", "ians_date": null, "ians_time": null, "server_time": null, "trash": "0", "view_count": "1516", "page_break": "0", "instant_articles": "1", "auto_link": "1", "created": "2024-05-09 20:06:04", "updated": "2024-05-09 20:06:04", "img_from": "Image Source: IANS", "img_source": null, "schedule_publish": null, "news_keywords": "Lucknow Super Giants, Sanjiv Goenka, Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium, IANS Photos, New Delhi, Sunrisers Hyderabad, Nicholas Pooran, Travis Head, Abhishek Sharma, After LSG, Ayush Badoni", "livescore_text": null, "livescore_link": null, "btn_text": null, "resend_feed": "1", "google_feed": "1", "read_more": "0", "posted_by": "23", "jio_date": "2024-05-09 20:06:04", "scheduled": "0", "news_now": "1", "breaking_news": "1", "google_date": null, "featured": "0", "pred_match_id": null, "article_content_type": null, "link": "https:\/\/www.cricketnmore.com\/cricket-news\/ipl-2024-only-kl-rahul-will-lead-lsg-everything-is-fine-between-team-and-owner-sources-144336" }
