Delhi: KL Rahul has led the Lucknow Super Giants for three consecutive years at the IPL. But, will he continue to lead the side in the upcoming season? Veteran India cricketer Amit Mishra reckons otherwise. As per Mishra, LSG may look for a new captain. Mishra asserted that the person with the right mindset for the shortest format should be appointed.
“It does not matter if he is in the Indian team or not. But a person who has the right mentality for T20s should be the captain. Someone who plays for the team should be captain. I am sure LSG will look for a better captain,” Mishra said this during his recent conversation with YouTuber Shubhankar Mishra.

Mishra also went on to reveal the truth and the conversation that happened between LSG owner Sanjiv Goenka and Rahul after their 10-wicket loss against Sunrisers Hyderabad.
“He (Goenka) was disappointed. We lost two back-to-back matches very badly. Against KKR, we lost by some 90-100 runs and against SRH, the match was finished within 10 overs. It felt like we were bowling them during a net practice session. If I am so angry about it, will someone who has actually put money into the team not feel angry? It was not a huge deal. But I later came to know that he said that the bowling was very bad and the team should have shown some fight. It looked like you have completely surrendered. But I feel people and media hyped it up a bit,” Mishra said.
