Once again, Lucknow Super Giants' owner, Sanjiv Goenka, was spotted meeting with skipper KL Rahul following the team's recent loss in IPL 2024, sending the internet into overdrive. With their defeat to Delhi Capitals, LSG's chances in the IPL 2024 playoffs have dwindled significantly under the leadership of KL Rahul. In the past few days, the team, particularly owner Sanjiv Goenka, has faced criticism, stemming from a widely circulated video capturing an animated discussion between Goenka and Rahul after LSG's loss to SunRisers Hyderabad. This incident sparked substantial trolling online.

LSG currently holds 12 points from 13 games, with a dismal run-rate of -0.787 following their defeat to DC. Their 10-wicket loss to SunRisers Hyderabad significantly contributed to their poor run-rate, which is now the worst among the four teams vying for the fourth-place spot in the playoffs. With their playoff hopes fading, the team's struggles have come under increased scrutiny.
