KL Rahul, while fielding for India in the first Test vs Australia in Perth, stopped a ball with his foot and showed some pretty decent football tricks with it, before throwing it back to the bowler. The star batter shared this video on his Instagram story,

Rahul's leadership skills were also developed when he was the captain of Punjab Kings in the 2020-21 season, where he showed strategic acumen.

KL Rahul has found a new home in Delhi Capitals. The star batter though has been churning out runs for the teams he represented but has not been able the franchises over the line to win trophies as a leader. The Delhi-based franchise on the other hand too does not have any trophies in its cabinet to show off.

Following the mega-auction, Parth Jindal, co-owner of DC, shared insights into Rahul's sentiments. In an interview with ESPNcricinfo, Jindal disclosed that he has known Rahul for an extended period and that the player expressed a desire to receive love and support from the franchise.

Delhi Capitals have depth in squad with enough back-up in all departments but questions surrounding who their next captain will be remain.

KL Rahul had parted ways with LSG after three years, with LSG owner Sanjiv Goenka later saying he wanted players who prioritise the team over personal milestones.

KL Rahul joined Delhi Capitals for Rs 14 crore in the IPL 2025 mega-auction. He was expected to breach the 20-crore mark like Rishabh Pant and Shreyas Iyer but that didn't happen. Rahul was part of Lucknow Super Giants from IPL 2022 to 2024.
