As the IPL 2025 Mega Auction approaches, fans are buzzing with speculation about KL Rahul potentially joining Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB). Social media chatter suggests that his move to RCB is almost confirmed, especially after the franchise released a video outlining their retention plans just before the deadline.
KL Rahul’s Possible Return to RCB
KL Rahul has been linked with a return to RCB ever since Lucknow Super Giants’ owner Sanjiv Goenka publicly criticized the Indian batter following LSG’s defeat to Sunrisers Hyderabad in IPL 2024. The reported release of Rahul has only heightened excitement among RCB fans, many of whom remember his early career with the franchise, where he began his IPL journey in 2013.
RCB’s Hint at Targeting Rahul
RCB may have dropped a significant hint about their intentions regarding Rahul during a recent discussion on team strategy. Head coach Andy Flower and Director of Cricket Mo Bobat talked about their retention plans, stating, “We are looking at specific roles.” Coincidentally, a picture of Rahul alongside former wicketkeeper Dinesh Karthik appeared during the conversation.
