Tue Apr 22 15:20:00 UTC 2025: ## Rahul’s Cool Handshake Stirs Social Media Buzz After Lucknow Super Giants Victory
**New Delhi:** KL Rahul’s performance against his former team, the Lucknow Super Giants (LSG), has sparked a social media frenzy, not just for his match-winning innings, but also for a seemingly cool interaction with LSG owner Sanjiv Goenka.
Rahul, playing for Delhi Capitals, scored an unbeaten 57 off 42 balls, helping his team secure a crucial victory. His innings included three fours and three sixes, and a partnership with Axar Patel that steered Delhi to victory. Notably, he also achieved the milestone of 5000 IPL runs, becoming the fastest to reach this landmark.
However, the post-match handshake between Rahul and Goenka has become the talk of the town. Videos circulating online show a brief, seemingly unenthusiastic handshake between the two, with Rahul quickly withdrawing his hand. This has led to considerable speculation online, given the reportedly tense relationship between the two stemming from a previous incident last year, where Goenka reportedly engaged in a post-match argument with Rahul when the latter captained LSG. This year’s interaction is being interpreted by many as a subtle, yet pointed response.
The incident occurred during the customary post-match handshakes amongst players. While other players exchanged warm greetings, Rahul’s exchange with Goenka appeared noticeably less cordial, prompting a wave of comments and analyses across social media platforms.
