KL Rahul: Big changes are being seen in all the teams for IPL 2025. Changes are being made in everyone from players to team management. In such a situation, a big update is also coming out regarding the IPL team Lucknow Super Giants (LSG). If reports are to be believed, the team management has decided to drop KL Rahul from the team.
Before the mega auction and retention, Lucknow Super Giants have decided that they do not want to keep KL Rahul in the team for the upcoming IPL season. So they can decide to hand over the command to this player from Punjab in his place.
KL Rahul will be out of LSG!
Before the start of IPL 2025, big changes are being seen in every team. Due to this, now the team management of Lucknow Super Giants has also decided to make a big change in the team for the upcoming season. If the news is to be believed, KL Rahul is going to be discharged from the team and the team will get a new captain in his place.
However, there has been no official confirmation of this yet. KL Rahul was captaining the team since 2022, but during this time the performance of the team has not been very good, due to which this decision is being taken.
Nicholas Pooran will become the captain of LSG
Nicholas Pooran, the explosive batsman from West Indies and who has played IPL for Punjab Kings, can be given the captaincy of Lucknow Super Giants in place of KL Rahul. He has been serving this franchise for the last 2 seasons. He was declared the vice-captain of the team only last year.
Since joining the team in 2023, Puran has made important contributions many times as a batsman and has emerged as a savior for the team. Last season, he scored 499 runs in 14 innings in which his strike rate was 172.94. Earlier, he was showing his flair in Punjab Kings.
Which team will replace KL Rahul?
In such a situation, the biggest question now is that if KL Rahul is dropped from the Lucknow Super Giants team, then which team can he join after that. There are two teams for the upcoming IPL season that are still looking for a new captain, Punjab Kings and RCB.
Rahul has played for both the teams before, in which he has also captained Punjab. Virat Kohli’s RCB is also looking for a new captain, so Rahul can prove to be a good option for them.
