Rahul is a quality player and can keep the wickts, which makes it a complete package.
Kl Rahul found a new team at the Premier League India (IPL) 2025 auction when Delhi Capitals (DC) bought it for INR 14 million rupees. Again he made several roles for the capitals, starting in the average order before moving towards the top. In general, he scored 539 races at an average of 53.90 and an attack rate of 149.72 in 13 entries, including three fifty -one century.
However, there have been some commercial rumors around it, with several franchises, according to reports, interested in taking it in advance to the IPL 2026 auction. Rahul is a quality player and can keep the wickts, which makes it a complete package. It is not surprising that teams who want Wicktkeeper drums are mostly inclined to get it.
We review three franchises that could be interested in obtaining it through the exchange before IPL 2026.
Kolkata Knight Knights
If there is any team that desperately needs a player like KL Rahul, they are the Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR). They had among the weakest Wicktkeeping departments, with players like Kock and Rahmanullah Gurbaz quinton without having a lasting impact. Therefore, Kkr would want an Indian option in this area.
Rahul can be flexible with his batting position. But there is a vacancy opening place in KKR, and can open with Sunil Narine. In addition, you can keep the wickts and solve two problems simultaneously. It will keep a slot abroad, which KKR can use in other crucial positions where they have lagoons.

Sunrisers Hyderabad
Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) bought Isehan Kishan for an enriching inr 11.25 million rupees at the IPL 2025 auction. The season began with a high note. However, its form decreased soon, and Kishan had a disappointing race with the willow. In addition, it seemed like a maid in the SRH configuration, since its best moment only reaches the top.
Therefore, the SRH can look for alternatives, and can rope in KL Rahul, which is more flexible with its position and can ascend the paper number 3. It is equally good against rhythm and turn and can also keep the wickts if necessary. Rahul has shown a change in the approach lately, and can adapt to the conditions hitting at a higher attack rate for the Orange army.
Chennai Super Kings
If you believe in reports, the Chennai Super Kings (CSK) are very interested in KL Rahul. The reason is understandable: they want a perfect successor for Mrs. Dhoni. Therefore, CSK would expect to get an experienced dough, and Rahul marks that box.
They tried to buy it in the previous auction, but they had to go back to the end due to the budget limitations. However, they will launch several players to release a budget after a disappointing season and can include Rahul. You can open the tickets with Ayush Mhatre if CSK decides to continue with Ruturaj Gaikwad in number 3 and ask you to do the WICKETKEPING tasks once you hang your boots.
