Lucknow Super Giants were ready to defeat Delhi Capitals in their first match of IPL 2025 on Monday. But Ashutosh Sharma snatched the victory from the jaw of super giants and chased 210 runs in Visakhapatnam to give the capitals victory. Two points, which were of super giant for a long time, eventually went to the account of Delhi Capitals. After the defeat of Lucknow, franchise owner Sanjeev Goenka appeared on the field along with captain Rishabh Pant. His videos and pictures are going viral on social media, in which he (Sanjeev Goenka) is seen talking to Rishabh Pant.
In the video, Rishabh Pant is seen explaining something to Sanjeev Goenka. Seeing the seriousness of Rishabh Pant, it seems that Sanjeev was not very happy with the team’s performance. Lucknow Super Giants spent Rs 27 crore to buy Rishabh Pant. Rishabh Pant is the most expensive player in the history of IPL. But Rishabh Pant never wants to miss his first match for the franchise. After playing six balls, Rishabh Pant returned to the dugout at zero. Apart from this, he also made some mistakes under the captaincy.
However, this is not the first time that Sanjeev Goenka has come on the ground after defeat in Lucknow and has spoken to the captain. Last year, it happened to KL Rahul, who was the captain at that time. People were not happy with what happened at that time. Lucknow Super Giants lost by 10 wickets to Sunrisers Hyderabad by 10 wickets in the match, which can miss making a place in the play-off. Goenka did not appear humble towards his captain, one of the brightest stars of world cricket.
KL Rahul told
Lucknow Super Giants captain KL Rahul was wearing a sweat -soaked jersey, holding his helmet lease, listening to his angry team owner Sanjeev Goenka. RPSG Group billionaire chairman Goenka paid a record 100 crore rupees for an IPL franchise. Rs 7,090 crore was paid. Meanwhile, Rahul tried to reply, but stopped in the middle. He did not give up. After this there was a huge uproar. KL Rahul was released by Lucknow before the IPL 2025 mega auction. Now Rahul is part of Delhi Capitals.
Angry on the field is derogatory.
The IPL has made rules for the franchise owners how they should run their team and how they will get a share of revenue. But there is no clear rule about how they will talk to the players. The only expectation from them here is to behave in a professional manner. The owners of the IPL franchise may be disappointed or dissatisfied with a player’s performance, but it is generally unprofessional and unfair to express anger on the players on the field during the match. IPL is a business, which should have some limitations between players and owners.
