During the LSG press conference, Sanjiv Goenka and Zaheer Khan discussed these three important things
Lucknow Super Giants had a very poor performance in IPL 2024 and the team could not secure its place in the playoffs of this season. Zaheer Khan (Pic Source-X) The Lucknow Super Giants franchise organized a press conference on August 28 in which team owner Sanjiv Goenka and new mentor Zaheer Khan were present. During the interaction with the media, both of them made big revelations about the performance of the franchise and the upcoming mega auction. Let us tell you, the performance of Lucknow Super Giants was very poor in IPL 2024 and the team could not secure its place in the playoffs of this season. Not only this, the performance of the players of the team was very good in the 2022 and 2023 seasons. Now Zaheer Khan will be seen playing an important role in the upcoming season. Along with this, let us tell you about three important points of the franchise’s press conference. 1- Zaheer Khan praises impact player rule The impact player rule has been implemented for franchises in the Indian Premier League. Some players have not liked this rule at all while others have praised it. In the press conference of Lucknow Super Giants, Zaheer Khan said, ‘This will give opportunities to many uncapped players. In the mega auction, you will see that the franchise is adding talented uncapped players to their team. Not only this, Indian cricket will also benefit a lot from this. Young players will also be seen leaving their mark. As far as all-rounders are concerned, at present there is absolutely no place for half all-rounders and the main reason behind this is the impact sub rule. But if you are a great all-rounder then no one can stop you.

After this decision of the franchise, the fans of this team were also seen very angry. After this, there was speculation on social media that Rohit might leave Mumbai Indians before IPL 2025. Meanwhile, news also came that Lucknow has saved Rs 50 crore to buy Rohit. Now a big statement has come from LSG owner Sanjiv Goenka regarding these rumours. Recently, during an interview on Sports Tak, Sanjiv Goenka was asked whether it is true that he has kept a purse of Rs 50 crore for himself to buy Rohit. Sanjiv Goenka believes that any team will benefit from a player like Rohit Sharma, but it would not be right to spend such a huge amount on him. Sanjeev Goenka gave a big statement on buying Rohit Sharma Sanjeev Goenka said that “Nobody knows whether Rohit Sharma is participating in the auction or not? It depends on whether Mumbai Indians will release Rohit. Still, if Rohit participates in the auction and if you spend 50 percent of the purse amount on him, then how will you be able to buy other players. Everyone wants a good player and captain. It depends on what you have and what you can do with it?” Let us tell you that before IPL 2025, Lucknow Super Giants has appointed former Indian veteran fast bowler Zaheer Khan as the new mentor of the team. Earlier Gautam Gambhir was the mentor of LSG but last season Gambhir joined his old team Kolkata Knight Riders. Now Zaheer Khan will be seen in this new role.

Speaking at a recent press conference, Goenka said, I am surprised that this meeting is getting so much attention. As I said earlier, we have not considered retention until the BCCI makes a rule. All I can say is that KL has been an important part of the Super Giants family. He has been there from the beginning, has played a very important role. For me personally, he is like family and will remain family. Sanjeev Goenka further talked about IPL retention, he said that there is enough time and a decision has to be taken carefully as the future of the team depends on it. We have the entire time of September, October and November to take a decision. We should wait for the retention policy to come. We have not even thought about the future team, whether the retention will be three-four-five or six, we do not know. Let’s see, there is enough time, whatever decision we take today will have an impact on the future, so a decision has to be taken after a lot of thought and consideration.
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.

After this, there was an argument between LSG captain KL Rahul and owner Sanjiv Goenka which was caught on camera. Now Indian wicketkeeper batsman Rishabh Pant has reacted to the video of this controversy. Let us tell you that after Hyderabad defeated Lucknow by 10 wickets, LSG owner Sanjeev Goenka got angry at captain KL Rahul. In the viral video, Goenka looked very upset while expressing his anger at Rahul. Commenting on this incident, Pant said that whenever a team loses, it is very common that there is a natural discussion on it, but I was not aware of what happened in the case of KL Rahul. Rishabh Pant admitted that he too has gone through many such situations and he too has had to listen to them. But Rishabh said, he handles it in his own way. What did Rishabh Pant say on KL Rahul-Goenka controversy? In an episode of ‘Aap Ki Adalat’ on India TV, Rishabh Pant said, “I don’t really understand what exactly happened in that situation. Obviously when you lose a match, a lot of things happen. But the way it was presented, I didn’t understand. I didn’t see the video in real time. Otherwise, I would have definitely responded to that. I too often get scolded, but I am also very stubborn.” The coach and the captain run the team: Virender Sehwag Reacting to the controversy, Virender Sehwag had said, “The role of the team owner should be such that when he meets the players in the dressing room or during press conferences, he should only say motivational things. But if the owner himself comes and tells what is happening, then there is no logic in it. Look, the coach and the captain run the team. So it would be better for these owners not to mess with the players, not to get angry.”
