Hyderabad/IBNS: Sunrisers Hyderabad scripted one of the spectacular victories over Lucknow Super Giants, crushing the visitors with a powerful stroke play in the Indian Premier League at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium in Hyderabad on Wednesday.
After being set 166 as the target by LSG, SRH pulled off the victory in just 9.4 overs with all 10 wickets in hand.
The SRH onslaught against LSG, led by KL Rahul, was scripted by Travis Head (89 not out from 30 balls) and Abhishek Sharma (75 not out from 25 balls).
The duo have slammed 148 of 167 runs from just boundaries and over boundaries in an innings where bowlers were sent out of the park at ease.
But after the spectacular batting display by SRH, what caught everyones attention was LSG owner Sanjiv Goenka, who was visibly upset over his teams performance, ranting at Rahul in public.
The video, which went viral on social media, shows Goenka having an animated discussion with Rahul with his hand movement while the skipper was left with a few words in reply.
The video has not gone down well with the netizens with some of them even urging Rahul to quit LSG.
Reactions
Highly unprofessional and undignified behaviour by LSG owner Goenka towards captain #KLRahul. There are dignified way to express criticism and unhappiness. #TravisHead is in completely different mode, no one can stop him. #SRHvsLSG #LSGvsSRHpic.twitter.com/nPqTG88jie

Money cant teach you Manners.
Leaders compliment in public and criticize in private.
Unprofessional and unacceptable behaviour of #Goenka with #KLRahul
Just imagine the level of humiliation and embarassment his employees must be facing. #SRHvLSG
