Parth Jindal’s Subtle Jab at Sanjiv Goenka After Securing KL Rahul for INR 14 Crore – N.F Times


 

Delhi: In a dramatic turn of events at the IPL 2025 auction, Delhi Capitals co-owner Parth Jindal made headlines with his indirect dig at Lucknow Super Giants’ owner Sanjiv Goenka after acquiring star batsman KL Rahul for INR 14 crore. This move comes after Rahul’s controversial exit from LSG, where tensions between him and Goenka were publicly evident.

Jindal, welcoming Rahul to the Delhi Capitals, emphasized the importance of respect and support for the player. “KL is a quality player, and getting him at that price opened up the budget for us to strengthen other areas. I know KL personally for a long time and he is a good friend of mine. He thrives with love and respect, and I am going to give him the love and respect he deserves,” Jindal stated.

This statement is seen as a subtle jab at Goenka, who had previously made comments perceived as critical of Rahul’s focus on personal milestones over team success. The acquisition of Rahul, one of the most sought-after players in the auction, marks a significant boost for Delhi Capitals as they aim for IPL glory.

Rahul, who has amassed 4683 runs in the IPL, is expected to be a key player for Delhi Capitals. Jindal’s confidence in Rahul’s abilities and his commitment to providing a supportive environment could be the catalyst for a successful season ahead.
