Uncertainty looms over KL Rahul’s captaincy with LSG for IPL 2025

KL Rahul’s future as captain of Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) in the IPL 2025 season is uncertain. While Rahul has been a significant figure in the IPL, scoring over 4,000 runs in 132 matches and showcasing his wicketkeeping skills, his tenure as LSG captain may be coming to an end after three seasons. Reports suggest that while LSG might retain Rahul, it’s likely to be as a player rather than as the team’s captain.

Rahul’s leadership experience is considerable, having captained in 64 IPL games with an equal number of wins and losses. However, his recent meeting with LSG’s management, including Goenka, has fueled speculation that changes could be on the horizon. The possibility remains that LSG might choose a new captain for the 2025 season, retaining Rahul for his batting and wicketkeeping abilities but relieving him of the captaincy duties.

Additionally, there are rumors that Rahul could return to Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) for the 2025 season. Rahul played for RCB from 2013 to 2016, and with a potential vacancy in RCB’s lineup, a trade could be in the cards. This move would be a homecoming for Rahul and might offer him a fresh start in a familiar environment. However, until official announcements are made, Rahul’s exact role in IPL 2025 remains speculative.
