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.

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.

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.

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.
