Lucknow Super Giants signed KL Rahul for Rs 17 crore ahead of the IPL 2022 mega auctions, but the Sajiv Goenka-owned side is set to release the 32-year-old star batter, who led and top-scored for LSG in the 2024 edition of the world’s richest franchise cricket league.
According to a report in ESPNCricinfo on Monday (October 28), barring any last-minute change of mind from both parties, Rahul will not be retained by the Lucknow-based franchise. Rahul is LSG’s leading run scorer in the IPL and has also won 20 out of 37 matches played as captain in the last three seasons.
