In a high-voltage IPL 2025 match, Lucknow Super Giants were defeated by Delhi Capitals by 4 wickets. KL Rahul, playing against his former team, played a stellar knock, scoring a brilliant half-century and leading Delhi to victory. After the match, Rahul was seen meeting Lucknow Super Giants owner, Sanjiv Goenka. Ahead of the match, all eyes were on Rahul and Goenka due to their strained relationship from last season, when Goenka was seen scolding Rahul on a few occasions. But this time, Rahul, now with the Capitals, delivered a fantastic performance, guiding his new team to a big win against Lucknow at the Ekana Stadium.
In all the going, what came into the spotlight was the video that went viral, showing Rahul quickly shaking hands with Goenka and walking away, seemingly ignoring him. The video has sparked discussions on social media. While Rahul had faced some tough moments with Goenka last season when he was Lucknow's captain, he batted intelligently in this match, scoring his third half-century of the season.
Rahul also set a new IPL record, becoming the fastest player to score 5000 runs, surpassing legends like David Warner and Virat Kohli. Goenka, watching from the stands, must have been left with a response to Rahul's performance. Rahul, now in great form with Delhi, will play in their next match against Royal Challengers Bengaluru at Arun Jaitley Stadium.
