A social media post by Indian Premier League founder Lalit Modi has become a matter of debate. Lalit Modi has targeted the owners of IPL teams after the video of the on-field conversation between Lucknow Super Giants owner Sanjiv Goenka and team captain Rishabh Pant went viral.

Let us remind you that on Wednesday, Lucknow Super Giants had to face a crushing defeat by 6 wickets at the hands of Delhi Capitals on their own home ground. After that defeat, Sanjeev Goenka was seen talking to LSG captain Rishabh Pant and coach Justin Langer. No audio of the conversation has been revealed, but the atmosphere during the conversation did not seem pleasant at all. Meanwhile, that video also went viral, when pictures of Sanjeev Goenka and KL Rahul were revealed during the 2024 season.

IPL team owner just headline

Lalit Modi made a post on social media and wrote that the owners of the teams in the football league look at their players with respect and show confidence in them, but the owners of the IPL teams just try to remain in the news and headlines. According to Lalit Modi, he stands right on the boundary and criticizes his captains.

Lalit Modi said that if the team owners adopt a patient behavior and also talk in a more professional manner, then the value of IPL can increase like football leagues. Lalit also said that it would be better if we try to build a brand by reducing the drama. He said that the Indian Premier League has already become the center of discussion because Rajasthan Royals has been sold for 1.53 billion US dollars and Royal Challengers Bangalore for 1.78 billion US dollars. According to Lalit Modi, if professionalism is seen in IPL too, it will have a different class.
