LSG owner directly criticized KL Rahul..!?

Lucknow Supergiants have made some important decisions before the IPL 2025 mega auction begins. First of all, team captain KL rahul was not retained. Nicholas Pooran, mayank Yadav, ravi Bishnoi, Ayush Badoni, and Mohsin Khan have been retained in his place. The lucknow team took rahul in the 2022 auction. After that, rahul played for lucknow for three years. But now it has come to an end. There are reports that this decision has been taken due to personal conflict between lucknow team owner Sanjiv Goenka and Rahul. LSG team owner Sanjiv Goenka has said that we need players who prioritize team success over individual records.
In a recent interview, LSG owner Sanjiv Goenka said, "The team needs to have a winning mindset. We need players who play for the team rather than personal achievements. We need players who have the mindset to make the team win before their personal goals and personal achievements." In this year's IPL, LSG suffered a crushing defeat against Sunrisers Hyderabad. Following this, a heated argument took place between Goenka and rahul on the field. The matter went viral within minutes of the match. At that time it was said that rahul would leave the LSG team.
Talking about LSG's retained players, Goenka said, "Zaheer Khan, Justin Langer, and the team assistants played a key role in the selection of players. Nicholas Pooran's consistent batting ability has made him the first player retained. Ayush Patoni and Mohsin Khan were also important for us." KL rahul started as an opener in IPL 2024 and scored 520 runs in 14 matches at an average of 37.14. Despite scoring more runs overall, his strike rate of 136.13 was low. This caused criticism among all. rahul played 38 matches and scored more than 1200 runs in 3 years of playing for LSG. However, his strike rate raises many questions. Now that rahul has been released from LSG, he is set to enter the IPL 2025 mega auction. rahul is expected to be in high demand as both an opener and a wicketkeeper.
