KL Rahul's New Chapter: From Auctions to Delhi Capitals

KL Rahul, former Lucknow Super Giants skipper, shares his experiences and emotions surrounding the IPL 2025 mega auction, joining Delhi Capitals, and the challenges and excitement of being part of a new franchise with strong players like Mitchell Starc and Axar Patel.

KL Rahul, previously the captain of the Lucknow Super Giants, has made headlines with his transition to the Delhi Capitals following last year's dramatic IPL mega auction. Rahul expressed a rollercoaster of emotions as his name came up during the bidding war that eventually landed him a spot with the Capitals.

A fierce showdown between Kolkata Knight Riders and Royal Challengers Bengaluru was abruptly joined by the Delhi Capitals, who successfully secured Rahul for a staggering Rs 14 crore. 'The auction was nerve-wracking,' Rahul told JioStar, underscoring the anxiety of not knowing his future team amidst a highly unpredictable process.

Rahul's anticipation is palpable as he prepares to join a squad brimming with talent, including cricket heavyweights like Mitchell Starc and Kuldeep Yadav. The IPL 2025 promises to be an exhilarating chapter in his career, as he reflects on the pressures and thrills of this new venture ahead of facing his former Lucknow side on March 24.
