The IPL 2024 was as exciting as the other seasons. Since the beginning, every other match are thrilling. But this season was not a memorable one for the Lucknow Super Giants. The franchise made an early exit from the tournament in the group stage. That was a setback for the team. But after this season, Justin Langar’s recent remarks on the Indian coach’s post by involving KL Rahul can lead Rahul to face some troubles.
Troubling IPL Season for Rahul:
In the IPL 2024, Lucknow Super Giants made an early exit from the tournament. Even after some amazing performances, they faced several setbacks. They struggled with their forms. At the end of the tournament, they faced two big defeats that threw them out of the tournament. They faced a huge defeat of 98-run against Kolkata Knight Riders at their own home ground. Just after that match, they faced a 10-wicket defeat against Sunrisers Hyderabad at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium.
KL Rahul, despite being the top scorer for LSG this IPL season, faced criticism from team owner Sanjiv Goenka After the 10-wicket defeat against Hyderabad. Leading the team, Rahul struggled to find support from his teammates, leading to disappointment. This isn’t the first time Rahul has been blamed for a performance that wasn’t solely his fault. His recent experience with LSG highlights how things often don’t go his way, despite his best efforts. Rahul would likely prefer to forget this tough season and the criticism that came with it.
Another Trouble Loaded for Rahul:
After the season ended as not a memorable one, KL Rahul is likely to face yet another setback. Indian coach Rahul Dravid will end his term after the T20 World Cup. he is not likely to resume his duty again. BCCI already talked about their search for the head coach. After that, a lot of speculation is going over this post. A lot of names are coming up regarding this topic.
Former Australia coach Justin Langer called coaching India great but said he won’t be taking on the high-pressure role. Langer shared a conversation he had with KL Rahul during IPL 2024. The LSG captain advised him about the challenges of the job, mentioning the intense pressure and politics involved. Langer appreciated the advice and decided to stay out of the running for the position.
Langer said, “ You never say never. And the pressure of doing it in India I was talking to KL Rahul and he said, ‘You know if you think there’s pressure and politics in an IPL team, multiply that by a thousand, coaching India’. That was a good bit of advice, I guess.”
Probable After Effect:
Another controversy stirred up over KL Rahul’s name once again. KL Rahul is known for his calm and composed nature on the field. But his name often gets associated with such controversies. Back in 2019, he was suspended by the BCCI for his remarks on a talk show with a Bollywood personality. He was banned from the New Zealand tour.
But this is a huge remark on the Indian Coach’’s position. The higher authority may take a step for the batter. But nothing is confirm yet. But it is likely for him to face a setback for Justin Langer’s remark. KL Rahul has not been named in India’s T20 World Cup squad. That is disappointing for the wicketkeeper batter of India.
