“The Reaction Surprised Me!” – LSG Head Coach on Alleged Rift Between KL Rahul and Sanjiv Goenka

Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) head coach Justin Langer recently addressed the buzz surrounding an animated conversation between the team’s owner Sanjiv Goenka and captain KL Rahul following their humiliating 10-wicket defeat to SunRisers Hyderabad (SRH) on Tuesday, May 14. Langer expressed his astonishment at the reaction to the viral video of the interaction, clarifying that there was no rift between Rahul and Goenka.

“I was so surprised by the reaction,” Langer said, noting that it was the fifth significant surprise of his life, following the surprises of learning the genders of his four daughters at their births.

Speaking to RevSportz, Langer elaborated on the Rahul-Goenka situation:

“I was so surprised by the reaction. It was incredible. I thought about it a lot for the last four days. There are not very many surprises in my life. I have had four surprises in my life. They were the four sexes of my daughters when they were born, because I had no idea. And they kept coming out. I said, ‘It’s a girl’. Four girls but we didn’t know. It was a great surprise, as we did not know. When I saw the reaction the other night, it was the fifth surprise of my life.”

The video of Goenka’s conversation with Rahul quickly went viral on social media, with many fans speculating that the LSG owner was visibly upset with the team’s performance as Hyderabad chased down the 166-run target in just 9.4 overs.

However, Langer assured everyone that all is well between the two, pointing out that Rahul attended a special dinner at Goenka’s residence ahead of their recent match against the Delhi Capitals (DC).

“They are the calmest and most peaceful men on the planet” – Justin Langer on KL Rahul and Sanjiv Goenka

Langer explained that the discussion between KL Rahul and Sanjiv Goenka after the loss to Hyderabad was purely about the team’s strategic errors during the game. He emphasized that both Rahul and Goenka are extremely calm individuals, making a heated argument unlikely. Although initially surprised by the animated exchange, Langer soon understood the context.

“Anyone who knows Mr Goenka or KL Rahul knows they are the calmest and most peaceful men on the planet. When I saw there were some arms going about, I thought, ‘Woah, I have never seen this before.’ When I listened to the conversation, it was just about where our plan went wrong in the game, and it went wrong,” Langer elaborated.

“That is the funny thing about the aftermath of what happened. No one knew what was said. I am so surprised by the birth of my daughters because it was all about the plan of our game and where it went wrong. It was just cricket talk. We are just laughing about it, and it has been such an awesome relationship between Mr Goenka, his son, KL, and myself,” he added.

Meanwhile, LSG suffered a 19-run loss in their crucial encounter against DC on Tuesday, May 14. They are currently placed seventh in the points table with six wins from 13 games. The KL Rahul-led side will next face the Mumbai Indians (MI) at the Wankhede Stadium on Friday, May 17, in their final league match of the season.
