KL Rahul’s future at Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) is under speculation following an animated conversation between him and LSG owner Sanjeev Goenka during an IPL 2024 match. While Goenka recently stated that Rahul is “part of the family,” there are growing doubts about his continuity with the franchise, especially with the IPL 2025 mega auction approaching.

Adding to the uncertainty, Rahul has been linked to Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB), the team he played for between 2013 and 2016. A viral video circulating online shows Rahul interacting with an RCB fan, hinting at the possibility of a reunion with the Bengaluru-based team. In response to the fan’s excitement about seeing him return to RCB, Rahul said, “Let’s hope so,” further fueling rumours.
Rahul, who has led LSG since their IPL debut in 2022, has guided the team to two consecutive playoff appearances. However, their 2024 season saw a significant drop in performance, finishing seventh in the league standings. With the upcoming IPL mega auction, many speculate that Rahul could be a prime target for other franchises, including RCB, which is reportedly considering a strong push to bring back the star batter.
Despite Goenka’s reassurances, Rahul’s future at LSG remains uncertain, and his response in the viral video has sparked excitement among RCB fans who are hopeful for his return to the franchise. The IPL 2025 season could see major shifts in team rosters, with KL Rahul’s next move being one of the most anticipated decisions.
