LSG criticized for insensitive social media post

Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) are facing backlash for a controversial social media post featuring South African cricketer David Miller. The video shows Miller discussing his biggest heartbreaks in cricket, including losses in important matches like the T20 World Cup 2024 final. Many fans found this insensitive and exploitative. Critics took to social media, calling LSG "the worst franchise ever" and expressing concern for Miller's emotional well-being. Fans argue that using a player's past losses for entertainment is disrespectful. Some were shocked that the video was approved by the team's social media team. Despite the criticism, the video remained online for nearly a day. LSG is preparing for the upcoming IPL 2025 season, with Miller on their roster. He was previously with the Gujarat Titans, where he won a title. LSG has invested heavily in their squad, signing Rishabh Pant for a record fee and retaining other key players. The team's lineup includes several promising players, although there are fitness concerns about their fast bowlers. As LSG gets ready for the season, the focus will be on how they respond to the backlash and their performance on the field.
