IPL 2024: KL Rahul Moves to Delhi Capitals for ₹14 Crore Following Controversial Exit from Lucknow

KL Rahul's IPL journey takes a dramatic turn as he joins Delhi Capitals for ₹14 crore in the 2025 IPL Auction. The former Lucknow SuperGiants captain made headlines after a much-publicised fallout with the franchise, leading to LSG opting not to bid for him. Delhi Capitals secured the experienced wicketkeeper-batter in a competitive auction, fueling speculation about his potential captaincy role following Rishabh Pant's record-breaking move to LSG for ₹27 crore. Rahul’s transfer marks a significant shift, as he was once the face of LSG’s campaign. Cricket experts believe his leadership and batting skills could make him a key asset for Delhi in the upcoming season. Will Rahul’s fresh start with Delhi Capitals bring a turnaround in his IPL journey?
