Following LSG&rsquo;s opening defeat to DC at Lucknow on Wednesday night, team owner Sanjiv Goenka was seen in an animated discussion with skipper Rishabh Pant and head coach Justin Langer, leading to a lot of chatter on social media.&nbsp;
It instantly brought back memories of Goenka&rsquo;s altercation with then skipper KL Rahul when the team suffered a 10-wicket hammering against SRH in IPL 2024.
This time though Goenka quickly doused any scope of a fire with a message on X.&nbsp;
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet">
