It was a tough night for the Lucknow Super Giants as they suffered a crushing defeat against the Sunrisers Hyderabad by 10 wickets in an IPL 2024 match at the Uppal stadium on Wednesday. Following the embarrassing loss, LSG owner Sanjiv Goenka had a serious chat with the team’s captain, KL Rahul. While Goenka’s approach received criticism, a new viral clip has surfaced showing him discussing the game with LSG coach Justin Langer and Rahul.
In the clip, though the conversation cannot be heard, it’s evident that they are discussing the team’s performance and the loss.

Rahul expressed his thoughts at the post-match presentation, saying, “I am lost for words. We have watched that kind of batting on TV, but this is unreal batting. Everything seemed to find the middle of the bat. Kudos to their skills. They have worked hard on their six-hitting skills. They didn’t give us a chance to know what the pitch played in the second innings. It was hard to stop them as they teed off from ball one.”
Earlier in the match, Travis Head’s 89 off 30 balls and Abhishek Sharma’s 75 off 38 led the Sunrisers Hyderabad to a dominant victory, chasing down the target of 166 runs in just 9.4 overs. Abhishek and Travis completely dismantled the LSG bowling attack.
