The dynamic Indian batter KL Rahul has been one of the most underrated batters of this era as he looks forward to starting a new chapter with Delhi Capitals (DC) in the upcoming edition of the Indian Premier League in 2025 after being bought by the franchise for a sum of INR 14 Crores.

All this happened after Rahul decided to leave his previous franchise, Lucknow Super Giants (LSG), due to conflicts with the owner, Sanjiv Goenka. However, during the mega-auctions, both the sides, LSG and DC, got their star players, i.e. Rahul and Rishabh Pant, exchanged as the latter was sold for a record sum of INR 27 Crores, making him the most expensive player in IPL history.

In an interview a few days after the auction, DC co-owner Parth Jindal revealed his discussion with Rahul after they purchased him. Jindal, the MD of JSW Cement and CEO of Bengaluru FC mentioned that KL aimed to win the IPL trophy with the Capitals' side next season as neither he nor his new team has won anything yet in the richest league.

"I just want to play cricket. I just want to get the love and support from the franchise. I just want to get the respect and I know Parth from you, I will get that and just can't be more excited to play for a friend and let's make Delhi win. I have never won (IPL). Delhi has never won. Let's do it together."

This statement is a massive boost for the franchise, which was desperate to acquire a leader after Pant decided to move on from the side. Rahul's experience and leadership qualities will come in handy for the team looking to win their first-ever title.
