Let us tell you that KL Rahul, being an Indian player, will be the choice of all teams. His inclusion in the team fills three slots in a team. First captaincy, second wicketkeeping and third opening batsman. That is, if this player from Karnataka goes to any team, then he is sure to go as a captain.
Now if we look at the matter of captaincy, there are five teams in the mega auction that need a captain. These include RCB, with whom Rahul started his IPL career. Now once again the Bangalore team can think about including a wicketkeeping batsman in their team.

Rahul (KL Rahul) has registered himself at a price of 2 crores in the mega auction. But it is certain that he will be sold above this. There is every possibility that he will be sold in double digits. Talking about RCB, they are looking for a player who can do wicketkeeping along with opening. He can also captain. Because the team has not retained Faf du Plessis as captain. It is obvious that the team will need a captain. Rahul can eliminate this need.
