How far is it correct, and to what extent is it appropriate to offend a well-known international cricket player like KL Rahul in public like this?

Lucknow Super Giants have lost six games now and will need to win both their remaining games against Delhi Capitals and Mumbai Indians to stay in the hunt for the playoffs and hence have the destiny very much still in their own hands.

Businessman Sanjiv Goenka, who bought the Lucknow franchise for a whopping Rs 7,090 crore (Rs 70.90 billion) on Monday, October 25, 2021, is not new to the Indian Premier League.

Kolkata-based Goenka was part of the T20 cricket extravaganza for two years, in 2016 and 2017, when he owned the Rising Pune Supergiants.


Goenka is famously remembered for dropping Mahendra Singh Dhoni as captain.

After a disappointing showing in its maiden IPL season, when they finished second last in 2016, Dhoni was replaced as Rising Pune Supergiants skipper by Steve Smith, under whom the team reached the final in 2017.

Asked about the backlash he faced after dropping Dhoni as skipper, Goenka told India Today in 2017: 'I am one of the biggest fans of Dhoni. He has a great mind and he is a great leader and over the last 14 months that I have got to know him I have started admiring him more as an individual as well.'

'It was a difficult decision to remove Dhoni. We wanted to have a younger person lead the side and Steve Smith has actually done a good job as captain of Australia, he has been captaining for last 20 months or maybe slightly more. Australia were quite low and he has built the team up and he has done a good job,' Goenka had added

An angry Sakshi Singh Dhoni retorted to the elder Goenka's tweet with a picture on social media, which said, 'When a bird is alive, it eats ants. When the bird is dead, ants eat the bird. Time and circumstances can change at any time. Don't devalue or hurt anyone in life. You may be powerful today, but remember, time is more powerful than you. One tree makes a million match sticks but only one match is needed to burn a million trees. So be good and do good.'

Dhoni was not to be denied. He returned to Chennai Super Kings the following year, after the franchise was reinstated after the two-year ban, and surprised one and all by guiding them to the 2018 IPL title.

CSK finished runners up to Mumbai Indians in 2019 before going on to win their fourth IPL earlier this month.

Yaar. Yeah KL ka response sun kar I am even more sad for him. Dude is taking full accountability. His team got crushed and sometimes it happens. Esp when SRH was so good. Even post match - KL had so much grace.

Goenka ka paisa ek bajoo. KL has represented India at highest level and done well. We teach our kids - respect is not optional. Goenka should learn that as well. Really bad behaviour and kudos to KL ka grace

As per me public humiliation wasn't right..cricket is game of uncertainty..someone can have super good and super bad days..no one loses by will..their spirit must have been crushed..there was no need for this public spectacle..plus Rahul is Indian cricketer... I love him as a cricketer...this isn't right spirit...Mumbai ki halat dekh lo..they removed Rohit and ab dekho where do they stand..one should not treat players with disrespect per me

Goenka brothers are horrible.

I thought just RPS wala gatiya tha, he didn't just removed Dhoni from Captain, he was taking digs and taunting Dhoni.


If this Goenka had so much problem he could have simply talked with him inside the dressing room or hotel, but insulting KL on the ground between so many cameras were in bad taste.


KL is sweetheart, knowing him he won't be rude back so aise treat kar rahe hain.

Who knows he will leave LSG next yr.

MSD ki hatana might be biggest mistake he did..he is most successful captain in IPL per me..he can win matches with most basic and average team..
