IPL 2022: 3 Teams that can pick KL Rahul in the mega auction
KL Rahul has been one of the most consistent performers in IPL over the years.
3. Kolkata Knight Riders
Kolkata Knight Riders’ journey in IPL 2021 has been nothing but astonishing. Having lost five of their first seven games, the two-time champions seemed down and out at the time of season suspension. However, they made a jaw-dropping comeback in the UAE leg and secured a place in the playoffs.
While many players stood up for KKR this year, skipper Eoin Morgan wasn’t one of them. The England international was woefully out of form with the bat and earned criticism from different parts. With Morgan turning 36 later this year and a handful of players allowed to retain, the Shah Rukh Khan-owned franchise doesn’t have many reasons to retain the southpaw.
Owing to the same, KL Rahul would be on KKR’s radar. The star batter can be given the leadership role if the side decides to undergo a revamp. Also, the presence of Rahul and Andre Russell in one batting line-up would instill fears in minds of opposition bowlers.
