A day after Sanjiv Goenka’s outburst, Naveen ul Haq fuels the LSG crisis with a brilliant KL Rahul gesture
IPL franchise Lucknow Super Joints were faced with an embarrassing 10-wicket defeat at the hands of Sunrisers Hyderabad at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium on Wednesday. The captain of Lucknow Supergiants, KL Rahul, has been despairingly muted after that tough loss against the Orange Army. The defeat of Lucknow left their owner, Sanjiv Goenka, devastated, who was lashing out at captain Rahul for the average performance of the team.
In the middle of the social media silence, the right-hand bowler of the Super Giants, Naveen ul Haq, came out in support of KL Rahul by posting a heart-warming post featuring his picture with the captain on Instagram, only putting a heart emoji in the caption and captioning the comments on the post. The timing of the post does suggest that his post was a gesture of support towards Rahul following the controversy.
After facing the defeat, KL Rahul said that he was at a loss for words. He also praised the batting skills of the openers of Sunrisers Hyderabad, Travis Head, and Abhishek Sharma, who made a mockery of the run chase.
