KL Rahul set to join RCB as captain for IPL 2025: Report

 KL Rahul is reportedly set to part ways with the Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) franchise and take on the role of captain for Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) in the IPL 2025 season, according to several media reports.

During the IPL 2024 season, KL Rahul was embroiled in controversy after a heated exchange with LSG owner, Sanjiv Goenka went viral. Rahul has served as LSG’s skipper from IPL 2022 to IPL 2024, but this incident highlighted tensions between him and the owners and set the stage for his departure.

Before leading LSG, he has also captained the Punjab Kings in previous IPL seasons so he can be a good fit as RCB’s captain. As a Bengaluru native, Rahul’s reported return to RCB, a team he was associated with earlier in his career, could resonate well with local fans.

RCB, which has consistently been on the lookout for strong leadership to complement their star-studded lineup, would benefit immensely from Rahul’s experience and batting prowess. As IPL 2025 approaches, all eyes will be on Rahul and it will be interesting to see if this move actually happens.
