KL Rahul-Sanjiv Goenka verbal chat revealed by Justin Langer 

During a conversation with Times of India, LSG head coach Justin Langer revealed the exact conversation between Sanjiv Goenka and KL Rahul. Langer said that without the sound, it looked like an aggressive chat. However, it was just a tame conversation. 

“It’s a massive storm in a teacup, in fact in an espresso cup.  The thing that fascinates me about India is this incredible passion about cricket. Mr Goenka is no different. I’m no different. KL is no different.”

“Our plan for the game didn’t go perfectly. In fact, it was a disaster. After the game, Mr Goenka came onto the field and asked KL, ‘What happened? Our plan that we talked about hasn’t worked. What do we do now?’ 

And then we talked through it. The sound was off, no one heard what was said. It might have looked quite aggressive, but it was really quite tame,” Langer said.
