KL Rahul has not travelled with Lucknow Super Giants’ squad for the upcoming match against Delhi Capitals in the Indian Premier League 2024. There are speculations that LSG captain will join the team for the important clash.

There are reports of rift between KL and the franchise owner Sanjiv Goenka after the latter scolded the batter after Sunrisers Hyderabad hammered Lucknow by 10 wickets.

Rahul’s strike rate has been questioned by former players. He was also left out of Team India’s squad for the ICC T20 World Cup 2024.
