Lucknow Super Giants suffered a crushing 10-wicket defeat against Sunrisers Hyderabad at the Rajiv Gandhi International Cricket Stadium in the Indian Premier League (IPL) on Wednesday. Batting first, LSG crawled to 165/4 in 20 overs. Hosts SRH romped home with 10 wickets and 10.2 overs to spare as Travis Head and Abhishek Sharma obliterated the bowlers.
Beyond the massive defeat, video footage of LSG team owner Sanjiv Goenka with captain KL Rahul might not go down well with the squad. In the viral social media video, Goenka can be seen publicly and quite animatedly reprimanding the wicketkeeper-batter.
In the post-match presentation, KL Rahul was at a loss to describe SRH’s comfortable chase.
“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,” KL Rahul said after the match.
