In the fourth match of IPL, Delhi Capitals defeated Lucknow Super Giants in an exciting match. Lucknow was winning in this match till the last time but Ashutosh Sharma played a match winning 66 runs for Delhi. In the final over, a stump of Mohit Sharma was also missed from Rishabh Pant, otherwise Lucknow would have scored 2 points because it was the last wicket of Delhi’s innings. After this bad defeat, the team owner Sanjeev Goenka came to the ground and interacted with Rishabh Pant and Head Coach Justin Langer. This video of him also became quite viral.
In fact, a video of LSG team owner Sanjeev Goenka went viral last year. At that time, KL Rahul (last year he was the captain of LSG) in place of Rishabh Pant. It was clear in the video that Goenka is very angry with Rahul’s captaincy and the team’s defeat. During this time, Rahul kept trying to speak something in the middle but then remained silent. After this video, cricket fans declared Goenka’s behavior inappropriate.
Rahul did not do Riten
Lucknow Super Giants started their IPL campaign from 2022. In the first edition, the team made KL Rahul its captain. Rahul brought the team to the eliminator round in the first 2 seasons but last year (2024) team was out of the league stage. During a match this season, Goenka, angry with the defeat during a match, was seen speaking something in front of Rahul on the field. It could be clearly guessed that Goenka is speaking something to Rahul in anger. Before the auction, Rahul was released by the franchise and chose Rishabh Pant as his new captain.
Rishabh Pant’s start with LSG not good
Lucknow Super Giants were bought by Lucknow Super Giants for Rs 27 crore. He became the most expensive selling player in IPL history. Although he did not have a good start with Lucknow, the team lost a winning match with Delhi Capitals. After this match, the team owner Sanjeev Goenka was seen coming on the field and talking with Pant. However, this time his gesture was soft than before.
It seemed that he was very angry or scolding Pant. But there is a question that can the owners of the IPL team come on the field to scold a player for poor performance or get angry?
What is a rule of BCCI?
There are many rules for the owners of IPL franchisees, such as how they will get a share in Revenue or how they have to run the team. According to the information, how the owners of the teams to talk to the players, no such clear rule remains. However, they are expected to treat them in a professional manner. The poor performance or defeat of the team may hurt the team owners, but after the match, it is unfair to get angry on the players or talk incorrectly.
