KL Rahul’s troubles may increase
IPL 2025 LSG: The IPL 2025 season has already started making headlines. The preparations of the teams are going on. It is being awaited that how many players BCCI allows the teams to retain before the IPL auction. The teams will then work on making their strategy accordingly. Meanwhile, KL Rahul’s name is also included in the players who are being discussed the most. Nothing can be said for sure as to whether KL Rahul will remain in his old team Lucknow Supergiants or will be seen playing for some other team after the auction. Meanwhile, there is news that KL Rahul has met LSG owner Sanjiv Goenka. However, no assurance has been given to retain him yet. That is, the matter is stuck.
KL Rahul reached Kolkata to meet Sanjiv Goenka
It is reported that IPL’s Lucknow Supergiants captain KL Rahul has met LSG owner Sanjiv Goenka in Kolkata. According to a PTI report, Rahul wants to be retained by his team, but the LSG team management has not decided anything about it yet. The report says that a decision on Rahul will not be taken until the BCCI clears the picture about the retention policy. KL Rahul is currently paid around Rs 18 crore by LSG. If he is retained again, then around the same amount will have to be paid.
Rahul is not part of India’s T20 team
The biggest problem for Rahul is that he is no longer a part of India’s T20 team. It is believed that he will continue to play ODIs for India, but his future in T20 Internationals is not yet decided. Players who play better and faster are knocking on the doors to join the team at this time. In such a situation, it does not seem that a player who is not in Team India will be given Rs 18 crore by the LSG team. Not only this, the news is that even if KL Rahul is retained, he will not be the first choice. There are some other players better than him, who can be given more money than Rahul. However, the final decision on this will be taken only when the BCCI’s retention policy becomes clear.
LSG team has played three IPL seasons so far
The Lucknow Supergiants team has played three IPLs so far. The team made it to the playoffs twice, but could not make it to the finals. Last year, the team’s condition was even worse, the team could not even reach the last four. In such a situation, KL Rahul’s future is in limbo. You will remember that after a match of last year’s IPL, a video of a conversation between Sanjeev Goenka and KL Rahul went viral on social media. It is not known what happened between the two during this time, but many things were said about it. Since then, it was believed that it would not be easy for KL Rahul to stay in LSG.
