Then once extra, no assurances have been given to the senior batter from the pinnacle boss. IPL 2024 didn’t end on a pleased note for LSG. They ignored the playoffs spot resulting from net run money even as Rahul and Goenka’s animated chat after the loss to Sunrisers Hyderabad went viral.

If verifiable truth be recommended, it grew to change into Rahul who led the part to the playoffs in the first two seasons in 2022 and 2023.
