Earlier some media reports claimed that Goenka reportedly apologised to Rahul after getting thrashed on social media. Some reports also claimed that Rahul might be relieved of captaincy captain and vice-captain Nicholas Pooran put in charge instead.
Reports also suggested that Rahul won’t be picked in the auction to be held at the end of the year.
However, sources close to LSG refuted these rumours and said, “Everything is fine between the two” and “only Rahul will be leading the team this season”.
“It’s all rumours that Rahul will be displaced from the captaincy and won’t be picked in the auction. The last match didn’t go our way, but everything is fine now between the team and owners. Rahul is in good space and taking rest before the game against DC,” sources close to LSG told IANS.
Another source also confirmed that Rahul will be heading to Mumbai to spend some time with his family and will join the team two days before the next match.
SRH stormed through to a 10-wicket victory over LSG, courtesy of an explosive batting show from opening duo Travis Head and Abhishek Sharma.
After LSG won the toss and opted to bat first, they were restricted to a below-par total of 165, with skipper Rahul playing a sluggish knock of 29 in 33 balls. Ayush Badoni’s (55 in 30) and Nicholas Pooran’s (48 in 26) 99-run partnership gave the LSG a respectable finish.
In reply, Head (89 in 30) and Abhishek (75 in 28) wreaked havoc on the LSG bowlers as SRH chased down the target of 166 runs in just 9.4 overs.
