IPL 2024: LSG Owner Sanjiv Goenka Hosts KL Rahul For Dinner Days After Public Outburst. See Pics
IPL 2024: Lucknow Super Giants owner Sanjiv Goenka hosted skipper KL Rahul for dinner, days after his public outburst in Hyderabad.

Last week, Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) owner Sanjiv Goenka made news for all the wrong reasons after he was seen publicly calling out captain KL Rahul after the franchise lost by 10 wickets against SunRisers Hyderabad in the ongoing Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024. Sanjiv Goenka was slammed left, right and centre for treating an India player like this. However, it looks like, all is good within the LSG camp as KL Rahul was invited by the franchise owner Sanjiv Goenka for a special dinner on Monday.
LSG owner Sanjiv Goenka hosted KL Rahul for dinner on the eve of the side's match against Delhi Capitals at the Arun Jaitley Stadium in Delhi.
In the now-viral pic, KL Rahul and Sanjiv Goenka can be seen sharing a warm hug.

Earlier, LSG assistant coach Lance Klusener had played down the rumours about the rift between Rahul and franchise owner Goenka.
Speaking at the pre-match press conference, Klusener said, "I don't see any problem with some robust discussion between two cricket lovers. So for us, I guess it's just a storm in a teacup. We love a robust discussion. I think that's how teams get better. So, it's not a big thing for us."
After the match between SunRisers Hyderabad and LSG, Sanjiv Goenka was seen having an animated chat with captain KL Rahul and coach Justin Langer.
We don't know what was said between Rahul and Goenka, but by the viral video, one can easily make out that the LSG owner was not pleased with how Rahul and his team performed on the night.
LSG now needs to win its remaining two matches against Delhi Capitals and Mumbai Indians, if they want to have any chance of making it to the playoffs.
