    IPL 2025: Auction Was A Nerve-wracking Experience, Happy To Be Joining DC, Says KL Rahul

    Indian Premier League: Ahead of the start of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025 season, India wicketkeeper-batter KL Rahul reflected back on last year's auction and shared his excitement about joining the new franchise Delhi Capitals.

    Rahul led the Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) in the last three editions but he was released by the franchise ahead of the auction. He was bought by Delhi for Rs 14 crore after letting go of their star wicketkeeper-batter and captain Rishabh Pant. However, Rahul will only be limited to behind the stumps duty after Delhi named Axar Patel as their new captain for the season.

    "The auction was a nerve-wracking experience. As a player, not knowing which team you will end up with is never easy. Over the years, I’ve seen how unpredictable auctions can be - there’s no fixed pattern to how things unfold. Having been a captain for the last three seasons, I have been actively involved in the process of building a team. I understand the kind of pressure franchises face when assembling a squad. But from a player's perspective, it’s even tougher because your career is at stake," Rahul said while speaking on JioHotstar's Superstars.
