Lucknow Super Giants assistant coach Lance Klusener has defended franchise owner Sanjiv Goenka’s controversial public outburst on skipper KL Rahul after their humiliating defeat against Sunrisers Hyderabad, calling it a ‘robust discussion between two cricket lovers’. Klusener also denied reports that LSG might not retain Rahul for the next season, stating that there have been no such discussions. Despite failing to get picked in India’s squad for the T20 World Cup 2024 due to a sluggish IPL season, Klusener expressed support for Rahul, saying that he has been under pressure due to the team’s batting unit’s struggles.
