Sunrisers Hyderabad produced a display of pure aggressive batting as Travis Head and Abhishek Sharma guided them to a massive 10-wicket win over Lucknow Super Giants in IPL 2024 on Wednesday. Chasing a target of 166, SRH did not lose a single wicket and completed the chase in just 9.4 overs. It was a big loss for LSG who were dealt a massive blow in their IPL 2024 playoff race. Following the match, LSG owner Sanjeev Goenka was caught on camera having a fiery chat with Rahul – something that has left the social media fuming. The video of the incident went viral and a lot of social media users were not pleased with the treatment from Goenka towards the LSG captain after the loss.

“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.”

“Was hard to stop them as they teed off from ball one. Once you are on the losing side, there are questions marks on the decisions taken. We were 40-50 runs short. When we lost wickets in the powerplay, we couldn’t get any momentum. Ayush and Nicky batted well to get us to 166. But even if we would have got 240, they could have chased it as well,” Rahul said after the match.

Highly unprofessional and undignified behaviour by LSG owner Goenka towards captain #KLRahul. There are dignified way to express criticism and unhappiness. #TravisHead is in completely different mode, no one can stop him. #SRHvsLSG #LSGvsSRHpic.twitter.com/nPqTG88jie

Money can’t teach you Manners.

Leaders compliment in public and criticize in private.

Unprofessional and unacceptable behaviour of #Goenka with #KLRahul

Just imagine the level of humiliation and embarassment his employees must be facing. #SRHvLSG

After this public spat under cameras, I’m sure that KL Rahul is leaving LSG next year. Fine big money’s riding in IPL and understand the frustration as an owner but it speaks volumes about Sanjiv Goenka as a boss!!

SRH captain Pat Cummins was also left stunned by his team’s performance.

“On did he change the pitch) Maybe Travis and Abhishek did. We just let them go, they are two guys who are very positive and I’m a bowler, it is tough for me to give them any inputs. (On Travis Head) He’s been like this for 2 years, he hits the tough areas, hits the middle a lot, might not be super conventional. (On Abhishek Sharma) Just an incredible player of spin and pace. With just 2 fielders out, it is really difficult for the bowlers against them. (On where the game is headed) I think the scores have gone up, and when the wickets are good, it is tough to come up with answers against batters when they get going. The boys have had a fantastic season, but to win this with less than 10 overs played is unreal,” he said.
