The footage shows Goenka looking visibly upset, gesturing towards Rahul during a tense exchange. This comes after SRH chased down LSG’s below-par score of 167 for 0 in a mere 9.4 overs, a humiliating defeat for the Lucknow team.

Fans on Twitter have expressed their disapproval of Goenka’s actions. Many feel that such a conversation should have happened privately, away from the public eye. Comments like “This is a pathetic attitude” and “Disappointed with this public display” highlight the fans’ disappointment with the owner’s behavior.

KL is one the most well behaved and decent cricketer of this generation, this kind of a behavior with him is not acceptable at all, respect for #KLRahul for maintaining his calm. pic.twitter.com/YvS1EiGxMr

While Goenka’s frustration is understandable after such a heavy loss, fans believe that publicly scolding the captain undermines team morale and creates a negative atmosphere.

It remains to be seen how this incident will affect the LSG team moving forward. They will need to regroup quickly and focus on winning their next match. For more IPL 2024 updates and online cricket betting Online Cricket Betting related guides keep visiting CricketBetPro.
