KL Rahul Reflects on Retirement, Says He Won’t Drag His Career

He remains active, returning for Karnataka in the Ranji Trophy this week.

Overview

  • In a conversation on Kevin Pietersen’s YouTube channel, Rahul said he will step away when the time comes and sees no point in prolonging a career.
