THERE IS disquiet in the Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) camp after visuals of team owner Sanjiv Goenka in what appeared to be a not-so-happy animated discussion with captain KL Rahul did the rounds of social media following the team’s 10-wicket thrashing by Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) in the IPL match on Wednesday. Speculation was rife about Rahul’s long-term future with the Lucknow franchise that is now placed sixth in the 10-team points table and has two more league matches to play this season. After the game, as cameras on the ground zoomed in on Goenka and Rahul, commentator and former South Africa captain Graeme Smith suggested that the “emotions are all over”. “You always feel that these conversations should happen behind closed doors. There are so many cameras around, they miss nothing. Rahul is not gonna go and do press-conferences and probably potentially explain what is being discussed here,” Smith said.
