Sanjiv Goenka, the owner of the Lucknow Super Giants cricket team in the Indian Premier League (IPL), recently discussed the scrutiny he faces on social media, particularly regarding his interactions with players like Rishabh Pant. In an interview with NDTV's Rahul Kanwal, Goenka expressed frustration over being portrayed as a 'punching bag' for sensational headlines. He clarified that a widely circulated video showing him speaking to Pant was misinterpreted as a scolding, stating, 'With a player like Rishabh, there is never a 'daat' (scolding) situation.' Goenka acknowledged that his expressive communication style, often characterized by hand gestures, is frequently misunderstood. To mitigate this, he is adapting his body language by keeping his hands behind his back while speaking. He also addressed claims of interference in team operations, asserting that he relies on a 'massive team of experts' for technical decisions. Furthermore, Goenka commented on the broader economic impact of global events, indicating that challenges are anticipated in the coming months due to rising resource conservation efforts.
