    Like every year, this season too had its fair share of drama, and one incident that stood out was when the Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) camp appeared unhappy after the team's 10-wicket thrashing by Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024 match on Wednesday. 

    Soon enough, visuals emerged of team owner Sanjiv Goenka appearing visibly displeased and engaging in an animated but heated discussion with captain KL Rahul, circulating widely on social media. While this scene has become a topic of discussion, a fan took to Reddit to ask, "Who is the best and the worst IPL team owner? (In terms of Behaviour)," and the answers flooded in.

    Many stated that they believe Rajasthan Royals (RR) owner Manoj Badale is one of the best among the others. According to one user, they wrote, "See him talk to Nas & Athers on their Sky Sports podcast to witness his knowledge about cricket, his investment in the youngsters and the team, and his vision for franchise cricket."

    Some even mentioned Delhi Capitals (DC) owner Parth Jindal. While many stated they were unsure if he was good or not, especially after he was seen animatedly celebrating after his team's match against RR and when they got the wicket of Sanju Samson. However, many have noted that both GMR Group and JSW Group, associated with Parth Jindal, have had sports excellence programs, particularly aiding Indian athletes in the Olympics.
