Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) captain KL Rahul may relinquish his role ahead of the IPL 2025. As per several reports, Rahul’s relationship with LSG owner Sanjeev Goenka has taken a turn for the worse. Speculations about Rahul’s move began after a video went viral on social media showing Goenka having an animated discussion with the team captain after LSG lost to Sunrisers Hyderabad in Lucknow during an IPL 2024 game. On that note, let us check out three wicketkeeping options for LSG if KL Rahul leaves Lucknow Super Giants.
Wicketkeepers who might replace KL Rahul in LSG
Quinton de Kock
The South African wicketkeeper-batter Quinton de Kock is a good option for LSG. His experience and aggressive batting style make him a valuable asset behind the stumps. However, it remains to be seen if he will be retained by the Lucknow camp for the upcoming IPL 2025.
Nicholas Pooran
LSG also has Nicholas Pooran, who is a quality wicketkeeper-batsman. Pooran has been impressive in T20 cricket and could be a strong contender for the wicketkeeper’s role. LSG is likely to retain Pooran thanks to his big hitting exploits.
Anuj Rawat
Looking for an uncapped wicketkeeping option, Anuj Rawat might be a good option for LSG. In previous editions of the IPL, Anuj Rawat has made some handy contributions with the bat for RCB. With the mega auction coming up, Rawat is likely to be released from RCB squad and be available at the IPL auction.
