KL Rahul met LSG owner Sanjiv Goenka, what is the significance of this meeting, understand?

During IPL 2024, there was a tussle between LSG owner Sanjiv Goenka and captain KL Rahul. KL Rahul meets LSG owner Sanjiv Goenka KL Rahul meets LSG owner Sanjiv Goenka: Led by KL Rahul, Lucknow Super Giants performed brilliantly in their first two seasons of IPL and reached the playoffs. But things did not go well for both Lucknow Super Giants and KL Rahul during IPL 2024. During the tournament, there was a lot of commotion and tension between franchise owner Sanjiv Goenka and captain KL Rahul. After this, there are reports that KL Rahul may now leave the franchise. At the same time, LSG is also considering its new captain and management. However, meanwhile, there is news that KL Rahul has met LSG owner Sanjiv Goenka regarding retention for IPL 2025. KL Rahul met LSG owner Goenka “Yes, Rahul came to Kolkata and met Dr Goenka at the RPG head office. He has clearly told Dr Goenka that he wants to be retained. However, until the BCCI brings in a retention policy, the LSG management would not like to chalk out its plans,” an IPL Governing Council member, who is privy to LSG, told PTI on condition of anonymity. “Look, Rahul wants to be retained but until LSG knows how many are to be retained and what the new purse is, they cannot commit to anyone,” the IPL source further added. Rahul may have to come in the auction At the moment, it is being said that even if LSG retains Rahul, which is unlikely, he will not be the first retention. Retaining players like KL Rahul means that a huge amount can be deducted from the purse. And no franchise would want to invest such a huge amount (18-20 crores). It is also being said that the kind of batting style KL Rahul has is not suitable for T20 cricket. Apart from this, the franchises for which Rahul has captained have not been very successful. This is the reason why KL Rahul may have to come to the auction again, where he may not be in much demand. According to reports, Lucknow Super Giants’ deal with Zaheer Khan has been finalised and he will be announced as the mentor soon.

“It’s a joke…” Why was KL Rahul dropped from the team for the third ODI? Former cricketer demands an answer

Dodda Ganesh has criticised the Indian management for their decision to leave out an experienced player like KL Rahul for this do-or-die encounter. KL Rahul (Photo Source: X/Twitter) Former India fast bowler Dodda Ganesh has questioned the decision to drop KL Rahul and replace him with Shivam Dubey in the ODI match against Sri Lanka. Ganesh called the move ridiculous and said that KL Rahul had captained India in this format only a short time ago. Sri Lanka won the series 2-0 by defeating India by 110 runs in the third and final ODI played at R. Premadasa Stadium in Colombo on Wednesday, 7 August. Batting first, the host team scored 248 runs. After this, Dunith Welalage took 5 wickets for 27 runs in 5.1 overs and the Indian team collapsed for 138 runs in 26.1 overs. The Men in Blue made two changes to their playing XI for this do-or-die encounter. Rishabh Pant replaced KL Rahul, while Riyan Parag replaced Arshdeep Singh. Ganesh on his X handle has criticised the Indian management for the decision to leave out an experienced player like KL Rahul for this do-or-die encounter. Ganesh wrote in his post “Only a crazy person would replace KL Rahul with Shivam Dube and Riyan Parag for such an important match. Can’t understand what is happening. He was leading India just 3 ODIs ago and suddenly, after a flop performance, he is out of the playing XI. What a joke. Only in a crazy universe will u have Dube and Riyan Parag playing ahead of KL Rahul, in a decider ODI. Don’t understand what’s happening. He was leading India just 3 ODIs ago and all of a sudden, one failure & he is out of the playing XI. Ridiculous is an understatement. #SLvIND — Dodda Ganesh दौद्ग गानेश (@doddaganesha) August 7, 2024 The 51-year-old former Karnataka fast bowler also warned that dropping players after one or two failures could create a sense of insecurity in them. He wrote in the next post- “If a player who had great success last year can be dropped on a technicality after one failure, it creates a sense of insecurity among the players. Well, you can’t build a cricket team like that. Who would have thought that India would lose so easily to Sri Lanka?” If a player who’s had great success in the last year can be dropped after technically one failure, it creates a sense of insecurity amongst players. Well, you can’t build cricket teams like this. Who would’ve thought that India would lose to SL so convincingly? #SLvIND — Dodda Ganesh दौद्ग गानेश (@doddaganesha) August 7, 2024 What is your opinion? Was it the right move to keep KL Rahul out of the team in the last decisive match?
