After spending various seasons with other franchises in the Indian Premier League (IPL), wicketkeeper-batter KL Rahul will be embarking on a new chapter when he turns out for the Delhi Capitals in the upcoming 18th edition starting on March 22. Rahul admitted that the uncertainty over which team he would land up with at the auction was nerve-wracking, but he is now glad to turn out for DC, who roped him in for INR 14 crore at last year’s mega auction. He was released by the Lucknow Super Giants after leading them in the 2024 edition. 

"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," said Rahul to JioHotstar.
