KL Rahul began his IPL journey at RCB in 2013 before reuniting with the team in 2016, the year they reached the final.

Royal Challengers Bengaluru released their skipper Faf du Plessis who led the franchise in the last three years in the Indian Premier League (IPL). It remains to be seen if RCB will buy him back or will go for other players as they need a captain in case Virat Kohli is not ready to lead the side.

KL Rahul has left Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) ahead of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025 mega auction and it has sparked widespread speculation about which franchise the star Indian batter might join for the upcoming season of the cash-rich league.

While Goenka’s comments about retaining players with a team-first mindset were made after the retention announcement, KL Rahul made it clear that his decision to leave the franchise was already set in motion long before these remarks.

Speaking ahead of the mega auction, KL Rahul said he is looking forward to playing for a franchise where is loved and cared for. Rahul opened up about his exit from Lucknow Super Giants and gave a pitch to potential buyers.
