KL Rahul Parts Ways with Lucknow Super Giants for IPL 2025

The cricketer seeks a fresh start in the upcoming IPL auction, aiming to find a team with a lighter atmosphere and regain his spot in India's T20I squad.

KL Rahul has decided to leave Lucknow Super Giants ahead of the IPL 2025 mega auction, citing a desire for a team with a more relaxed environment.
Rahul, who captained LSG from 2022 to 2024, was the franchise's leading run-scorer but faced criticism for his strike rate.
His departure follows a challenging 2024 season, where LSG finished in the lower half of the points table, and tensions with team owner Sanjiv Goenka were reported.
Rahul aims to use the IPL 2025 as a platform to enjoy cricket again and work towards rejoining India's T20I team.
The IPL 2025 mega auction is scheduled for November 24 and 25 in Jeddah, with Rahul setting his base price at INR 2 crore.
