Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) are facing social media scrutiny following a viral video featuring owner Sanjiv Goenka and captain Rishabh Pant. The footage, showing a cordial exchange, has been dismissed by fans as a choreographed 'image cleanup' exercise. Fans compared the clip to the film Drishyam 2, alleging the interaction was fabricated to soften Goenka's public persona following past outbursts. The post on X subsequently received a Community Note, which clarified that the video was a promotional franchise production rather than a candid moment. This follows previous incidents involving Goenka’s management style, which drew widespread criticism from the cricketing community during earlier seasons.

What a joke!
Good effort Mr Goenka and LSG to doing some 'replay' naatak!
What happened to the crowd, btw, that was there in the earlier so called 'edited' clip?
