NEW DELHI: Lucknow Super Giants suffered a humiliating defeat against Sunrisers Hyderabad on Wednesday in their Indian Premier League match, losing the contest by 10 wickets.
After the match an unexpected controversy erupted as cameras caught
LSG owner Sanjiv Goenka
in a heated exchange with captain
KL Rahul
, igniting a firestorm of criticism online.
Commentators on Jio Cinema didn't mince words, highlighting the need for discretion in such conversations, especially in the public eye.
"You always feel these conversations should be happening behind closed doors. There are so many cameras around the stadium and they miss nothing. You know KL Rahul is now gonna go to press conferences and other things and potentially explain what's been discussed here," voiced one commentator.
Adding to the discourse,
Scott Styris
commended Rahul for maintaining his composure amidst the scrutiny.
"He has done well to keep his cool here. I think you are bang on," Styris acknowledged, underscoring Rahul's professionalism in handling the situation.
While the conversation between Goenka and Rahul sparked controversy, it couldn't overshadow the spectacle on the field. Sunrisers Hyderabad's explosive batting display left even the opposition captain at a loss for words.
"Am lost for words. We have watched that kind of batting on TV. But this is unreal batting. Everything seemed to find the middle of the bat. Kudos to their skills. They have worked hard on their six-hitting skills. They didn't give us a chance to know what the pitch played in the second innings," Rahul remarked in awe of SRH's performance.
