Fans of the Lucknow Super Giants were left surprised as news surfaced that KL Rahul did not travel with the team to Delhi on Monday. Reports circulating suggest that he may have been stripped of the captaincy following a fallout with owner Sanjiv Goenka. Although there’s no official confirmation, actress Athiya Shetty added fuel to the fire with a cryptic Instagram post amid the developments.
Sharing an image of the sun breaking through clouds on her Instagram Stories, Athiya captioned it, “The calm after the storm,” hinting at the turbulence within the team. With uncertainty looming over Rahul’s direct involvement in the upcoming match on May 14, his absence during the travel raised eyebrows, notably evident in the franchise’s official Instagram video where he was conspicuously missing.
The aftermath of the reported altercation seems to have cast a shadow over the Lucknow Super Giants’ camp, with players reportedly advised against social media activity. The franchise itself has been relatively silent since the incident on May 8, posting just once on May 12. Additionally, owner Sanjiv Goenka’s decision to restrict comments on his Instagram further underscores the seriousness of the situation and its impact on the team dynamics.
