The RCB team has been participating in the IPL since 2008. This team has a lot of great players and captains. But RCB team still failed to win the championship. RCB reached the finals thrice but failed every time. Ahead of the IPL 2025 mega auction, RCB retained only three players, including Virat Kohli, Rajat Patidar and Yash Dayal. Superstar batsman and captain Faf du Plessis has been released. Now, the IPL 2025 mega auction will be held on November 24-25. RCB has no captain. In this case, he wants to target such a player who can captain the team as well as bat well and for that, KL Rahul could be a suitable choice.
Lucknow Supergiants not retaining Rahul
KL Rahul is yet to be retained by Lucknow Supergiants. Rahul has experience as captain and under his leadership, Lucknow has made it to the IPL playoffs twice. He previously played for RCB (2013-16) and M Chinnaswamy, Bengaluru, is his home team. The most special thing about Rahul is that he can take on the responsibilities of goalkeeper and can also open the ball. He would be a good option for any team. In this case, RCB team can spend crores of rupees on him.
KL Rahul captained the team in 64 games
KL Rahul has captained 64 IPL games so far, out of which he has won 38 and lost 29. Otherwise, the two games were tied. There has been controversy over Rahul’s strike rate over the past few years. But he is such a batsman that once he is at the crease, he plays big innings.
Scored over 4000 runs in IPL
KL Rahul has been playing in the IPL since 2013. He has scored 4643 runs in 132 IPL matches so far, including 4 centuries and 37 half-centuries. His strike rate during this period was 134.61. His best score in IPL is 132 runs.
