3 Teams That Will Target KL Rahul in the IPL 2025 Mega Auction

KL Rahul is all set to go under hammer in IPL 2025 mega auction.

The Indian wicketkeeper-batter KL Rahul is expected to leave the Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) before the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025 season. One thing is for sure: when he heads into the IPL 2025 mega auction, he will be one of the most sought-after players on almost every franchise’s list. 

Although KL Rahul’s form in the shortest format of the game has been concerning, his potential cannot be questioned, especially considering the performances he delivered just a couple of years ago.

On that note, here is a list of the three top teams who will be looking to acquire KL Rahul’s services at any cost:

1. Royal Challengers Bengaluru 

Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) will surely look to bring their hometown boy, KL Rahul, back to the team. The love and affection that he receives from RCB fans is immense, and his return would be a massive comeback for both him and the franchise. The Karnataka batter himself has expressed interest in rejoining his home team RCB on a couple of occasions.

2. Chennai Super Kings

In Chennai Super Kings (CSK), MS Dhoni might have stepped down from the captaincy, but he remains the leader under whom almost every player wants to flourish. Ajinkya Rahane is a prime example of this. KL Rahul, who has been written off by many in the shortest format, can revive his career if he gets the right guidance from MS Dhoni at CSK.

3. Punjab Kings

The third and final name on the list is Punjab Kings, who will be without their captain Shikhar Dhawan in IPL 2025. They will certainly be looking for a strong candidate to replace him, and KL Rahul fits the bill perfectly. KL Rahul’s peak performance in the shortest format came during his time with Punjab Kings. A return to the team could help him revive his inner beast.
