The LSG lost badly to the Sunrisers Hyderabad in their IPL 2024 match. Sunrisers Hyderabad batted really well and won by 10 wickets. They chased a target of 166 runs super fast, in just 9.4 overs, which is the fastest ever in a match where a team has to score more than 100 runs to win.
After the match, there was a video of the LSG owner, Sanjiv Goenka, talking with Rahul. People on the internet got really mad about it. Experts on Jio Cinema said that these kinds of conversations should be private. They mentioned that there are cameras everywhere in the stadium, so nothing stays hidden. They also said that now Rahul might have to talk about what was said in the conversation, which could cause problems for the team.
KL Rahul was really surprised by how aggressive Sunrisers Hyderabad batted. He said, “I’m speechless. We’ve seen this kind of batting on TV, but it felt unreal seeing it live. Every shot seemed perfect. They’ve clearly worked hard on hitting sixes. We didn’t even get a chance to figure out how the pitch was playing in the second half.”
“It was tough to stop them right from the start. When you’re on the losing side, you start questioning your decisions. We fell short by 40-50 runs. Losing wickets early on made it hard to build momentum. Ayush and Nicky did well to get us to 166, but even if we had scored more, they might have still chased it down,” he explained after the game.
He also mentioned, “You always hope these discussions stay private, but with all the cameras around, everything gets out. Now I’ll have to go to press conferences and explain what happened here,” he added.
