Fans Cite Shah Rukh Khan As Video Of Lucknow Super Giants Owner Scolding KL Rahul Goes Viral
IPL 2024: A video of LSG owner Sanjiv Goenka scolding KL Rahul is going viral. Fans are now pointing at Shah Rukh Khan and how he has never done any such act in public.
KL Rahul-led Lucknow Super Giants were handed a 10-wicket drubbing by the SunRisers Hyderabad at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium on Wednesday. Travis Head and Abhishek Sharma took LSG bowlers to the cleaners to chase down the target of 166 in just 9.4 overs. After the match came to an end, Lucknow Super Giants owner Sanjiv Goenka was seen having an animated chat with captain KL Rahul and coach Justin Langer.
We don't know what was said between Rahul and Goenka, but by the video, one can easily make out that the LSG owner was not pleased with how Rahul and his team performed on the night. Going by the hand gestures of Goenka, it is fair to say that he ended up giving a piece of his mind to the LSG skipper.
For the unversed, KL Rahul is already facing a lot of criticism for scoring just 29 runs off 33 balls while batting first against SRH.

As the video continues to be shared widely, fans are now bringing up Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) co-owner Shah Rukh Khan and they are hailing him for never treating his players badly in public.
Here are some of the reactions:
"After losing the match, see the difference in the attitudes of these two owners. Shah Rukh Khan is far superior in handling losses, comforting and motivating the team, and giving due credit to the opposition. It's a rare quality of SRK," wrote one user.

Many users are also pointing out how SRK did not react in a bad manner even when his franchise KKR ended up losing the match after scoring 260+ during IPL 2024.
Speaking of SRH, the side is now at the third spot in the points table. On the other hand, LSG are at the sixth spot. It needs to be seen whether LSG manage to rejuvenate themselves in order to secure a playoff spot.
