Amit Mishra opens up about Goenka-KL Rahul episode
Lucknow Super Giants had a forgettable campaign at the IPL 2024 earlier this year, winning seven and losing as many games from their overall fourteen games. They finished the tournament with their position on seventh in the points table. They weren’t able to advance to the playoffs, being eliminated prematurely from the tournament.
During the tournament, they had also suffered massive defeats. One of which came against Sunrisers Hyderabad, leading to a heated conversation between LSG owner Sanjiv Goenka and LSG skipper KL Rahul. Their fierce conversation had been caught on camera.
LSG spinner Amit Mishra recently talked about that episode and said Sanjiv Goenka was upset with the team’s poor display. Sunrisers Hyderabad, chasing a total of 165, wrapped up the proceedings in 10 overs only with Abhishek Sharma and Travis Head blazing 75 and 89 unbeaten respectively.
"He (Goenka) was disappointed. We lost two back-to-back matches very badly. Against KKR, we lost by some 90-100 runs and against SRH, the match was finished within 10 overs. It felt like we were bowling them during a net practice session. If I am so angry about it, will someone who has actually put money into the team not feel angry?," Amit Mishra said at the Shubhankar Mishra’s podcast.
"It was not a huge deal. But I later came to know that he said that the bowling was very bad and the team should have shown some fight. It looked like you have completely surrendered. But I feel people and media hyped it up a bit," he said.
"It does not matter if he is in the Indian team or not. But a person who has the right mentality for T20s should be the captain. Someone who plays for the team should be captain,” he said.
