KL Rahul, the charismatic right-hander batter is likely to leave Lucknow Super Giants ahead of IPL 2025, and might be seen leading Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) in the next season of the marquee league according to a report from Sportskeeda.

KL Rahul was Lucknow Super Giants skipper from IPL 2022 to IPL 2024, but his relation with the franchise owner has been a matter of debate since the time the two were seen in an intense conversation after a loss in IPL 2024. 

Along with leading LSG, KL Rahul also has the experience of leading Punjab Kings in the IPL and has captaincy experience at the international level too. His addition to RCB will be a welcome move both for the batter and the franchise, as he is a Bengaluru local boy and has been associated with the franchise earlier in his career.


Faf Du Plessis Tenure As RCB Captain 

Meanwhile with a new three-year cycle approaching, and mega-auction ahead of the IPL season, RCB are looking for a younger face to lead the team in place of Faf du Plessis who is already 40 years old.The South African took over the leadership of RCB in the 2022 season, and had quite successful tenure with the team qualifying for the playoffs in all three years,

The loyal RCB fans are still waiting for their maiden IPL title though, and would be hoping that the local boy KL Rahul creates history as captain if he does join them in that capacity.
