The KL Rahul and Lucknow Super Giants fiasco continues. Last night the current LSG skipper and owner Sanjiv Goenka did have a conversation. Now reports have emerged that KL Rahul wants to stay at the Lucknow based club. But on the other hand, LSG haven’t said anything about retaining KL Rahul.
The IPL club will only take a decision once the BCCI informs them about the retention rules for IPL 2025 Mega Auction. Currently, KL Rahul is not a part of India’s T20I squad and wasn’t a part of the squad that won the ICC T20 World Cup in Barbados.
Where will KL Rahul play in IPL 2025?
“Yes, Rahul came to Kolkata and met Dr Goenka at RPG head office. He has clearly told Dr Goenka that he wants to be retained. However, till BCCI comes up with retention policy, LSG management wouldn’t want to chalk out their plans,” an IPL Governing Council member, privy to developments in LSG, told PTI on the condition of anonymity.
“Look, Rahul wants retention but till LSG knows how many are to be retained and what’s the new purse, they can’t commit anyone,” the IPL source said.
After the rift between KL Rahul and Sanjiv Goenka it was revealed that KL Rahul could be on a way out. Reports further emerged that he could be on his way to rejoin Royal Challengers Bengaluru. Now, despite the meeting, everything is stalled. Since, LSG are ready to play the waiting game, it remains to be seen what KL Rahul decides.
