Actually, in IPL 2024, a match was played between Sunrisers Hyderabad and Lucknow Super Giants on 8th May in which LSG had to face a crushing defeat by 10 wickets. After this defeat, Lucknow owner Sanjeev Goenka was seen talking to team captain KL Rahul for a long time. Although what conversation took place between the two could not be known, but seeing the way the two were talking, fans were guessing that Goenka was scolding KL Rahul. The way Sanjiv Goenka has misbehaved with his team captain KL Rahul in IPL 2024, he has also misbehaved in a similar manner with MS Dhoni. Goenka had even snatched the captaincy of the team from MS Dhoni. Let us tell you what happened between Dhoni and Goenka at that time. Sanjeev Goenka removed MS Dhoni from captaincy Actually, 2016 and 2017 were two such seasons where Chennai Super Kings and Rajasthan Royals were banned. In such a situation, Dhoni and CSK lost their support. Two teams left and two new teams came. The Pune franchise was bought by Kolkata business tycoon Sanjiv Goenka’s company New Rising while the Rajkot bid was won by Intex Mobiles. Sanjiv Goenka made Dhoni the captain of his team, but the team could win only five out of 14 matches and remained in seventh position out of eight. Mahi also could score only 284 runs in 12 innings that season. Just before the start of the 2017 season, Rising Pune Supergiants issued a statement saying that Dhoni will no longer be the captain of the team, Steve Smith will take charge in his place. Actually Goenka wanted a young player to captain the team in that season. Meanwhile, news came that Dhoni himself wanted to leave the captaincy and wanted to play as a player only. However, no one knows what the truth behind this is. Mahi, who had made CSK champion twice under his captaincy from 2008 to 2015, had also won two Champions League T-20 tournaments. However, the move of making Smith the captain worked, this time the team reached the finals and lost to Mumbai Indians by just one run in the title match.
