Lucknow, May 10: The animated chat on-field between Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) owner Sanjiv Goenka and skipper K.L Rahul following their humiliating 10-wicket defeat to Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) has triggered speculation that the Karnataka batter might quit captaincy. However, LSG sources on Thursday were quick to dispel all such reports, claiming that âeverything is fine between the team and the ownerâ.Some media reports on Thursday claimed that Goenka reportedly apologised to Rahul after getting thrashed on social media. Some reports also claimed that Rahul might be relieved of captaincy captain and vice-captain Nicholas Pooran put in charge instead.
Reports also suggested that Rahul wonât be picked in the auction to be held at the end of the year.
However, sources close to LSG refuted these rumours and said, âEverything is fine between the twoâ and âonly Rahul will be leading the team this seasonâ.
âItâs all rumours that Rahul will be displaced from the captaincy and wonât be picked in the auction. The last match didnât go our way, but everything is fine now between the team and owners. Rahul is in good space and taking rest before the game against DC,â sources said.
