On Day 3 of the Duleep Trophy 2024 fixture between India A and India B at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium, Bengaluru, KL Rahul received a warm welcome from the crowd with chants of “RCB captain” as he walked out for a warm-up session. The Karnataka-born cricketer, who is representing India A in the ongoing clash, has a special connection with the Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) as a former player.
Despite recent struggles with form and injuries, Rahul continues to be a key figure in the Indian Premier League (IPL). Speculation around his future has been rife, particularly regarding his potential exit from Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) ahead of the IPL 2025 mega auctions. Reports suggest that Rahul has been approached by RCB, who are reportedly looking for a leadership change after the Faf du Plessis era.

Rahul, who recently met LSG owner Sanjiv Goenka, expressed his desire to be retained by the franchise. However, the retention policy for IPL 2025 is yet to be finalized by the BCCI, leaving the future uncertain. Despite this, Goenka has referred to Rahul as “family,” making his retention likely unless there are major changes.
As the crowd in Bengaluru showed their love for Rahul, many anticipate a possible return to RCB, sparking excitement for a homecoming at Chinnaswamy Stadium.
