Lucknow Super Giants suffered a heavy defeat by 10 wickets in the IPL match against Sunrisers Hyderabad. 

This led to a tense conversation between LSG captain KL Rahul and team owner Sanjeev Goenka.

Sanjeev Goenka is not new to cricket, having previously owned the Rising Pune Supergiants.

 During his ownership, there were controversies, including an incident where he clashed with MS Dhoni.

Under Dhoni's leadership, the Rising Pune Super Giants performed poorly in the IPL 2016 season, finishing second from the bottom in points table.

In 2017, Steve Smith took over as captain and led the team to victory against Mumbai, prompting criticism from Sanjeev Goenka's brother, Harsh Goenka, who seemingly mocking MS Dhoni's captaincy. 

Harsh had tweeted, 'RPSvMI Smith proves who's the king of the jungle. Overshadows Dhoni totally. Captains innings. Great move to appoint him as captain,'

In response, Sakshi Dhoni, MS Dhoni's wife, took to Instagram to post a selfie wearing a CSK helmet with a caption that read - 'Throwback.'

She followed it with a post which read, 'When a bird is alive, it eats ants. When the bird is dead, ants eat the bird. Time and circumstances can change at any time.'

'Don't devalue or hurt anyone in life. You may be powerful today, but remember, time is more powerful than you. One tree makes a million match sticks but only one match is needed to burn a million trees. So be good and do good.'
