Meeting Behind Closed Doors A Better Option Than Whole World Watching, Says Lee On Rahul-Goenka Animated Meeting
Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium: Brett Lee, the legendary Australia fast-bowler, feels the KL Rahul-Sanjiv Goenka animated meeting in the aftermath of Lucknow Super Giants’ 10-wicket defeat to Sunrisers Hyderabad could have been better if it happened behind closed doors rather than being witnessed by the whole world.
On Wednesday, Lucknow Super Giants suffered a huge blow to their IPL 2024 playoffs hopes after Sunrisers Hyderabad openers Travis Head and Abhishek Sharma chased down 166 in just 9.4 overs, in what was a stunning show of marauding stroke-play from the left-handed batters at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium.
After the match ended, visuals caught Goenka, the LSG owner, looking animated in gestures and body language in his on-field conversation with Rahul, also the captain of the franchise, and was listening to him calmly. The clip soon went viral and invited scathing criticism for Goenka on his unprofessional demeanour in full public view with Rahul, who’s captained India in all three formats of international cricket.
