Welcome to Insidesport’s latest series “Raild Donted”. Here, we discuss which host capabilities are ignored by an IPL team and how to pay for it.
Royal Challengers Bengaluru must not have signed Kl Rahul for IPL 2025. Even after he was interested in joining the RCB after he was released by LSG, Karnataka goalkeeper-yara was not interested. Now, the new franchise – Delhi Capitals has continued to perform very well. RCB may now be wondering why they didn’t have a bag when they have a gold opportunity.
Did the RCB blunder without signing Rahul?
In the IPL 2025 mega auction, the RCB and KKR were two teams that offered for Rahul when the name came. RCB decided to shoot when the price reached 10.75 RS. In the end, the loss of RCB was DC’s earnings. The DC, which entered the KL auction at RS 11 Crore, managed to play the bag for the star RS 14 CR and the LSG did not decide to use the right to match the card with (RTM).
It should be noted that Kl Rahul started his IPL journey with RCB. It was part of a season (2013) and played five games before moving to SRH for the next two years. Later in 2016, he returned to RCB once again and scored goals here. 397 Running from 14 Games.
In the Premier League of Kl Rahul in the Indian Premier League (IPL), the term of office with the Royal Squaremakers Bangalore (RCB) spread to two seasons: 2013 and 2016. Here is a summary of his performance in those years:
| Season | Matches | Running | Average | Strike ratio | HS | 50S/100’s |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2013 | 5 | 20 | 10.00 | 125.00 | 12 | 0/0 |
| 2016 | 14 | 397 | 44.11 | 146.49 | 68* | 4/0 |
Later, he moved to PBKs and then to LSG before he settled in DC. On Thursday, he took revenge on the RCB because he ignored him at the auction. Although he did not break a big record in Bengaluru in the home field, Rahul was not defeated at the age of 93 to direct his new team to a small win. In fact, the celebration after hitting the winner – here “this is my floor” – shows that RCB aims to respond to the snub.
“Of course (would you like to go back to RCB?) Bengaluru house. The people there know me as children in a local cannon. It would be nice to go there and get an opportunity. But, yes, this is an auction year, you can go anywhere”Rahul said he was asked if he would want to return to RCB.
However, RCB decided to ignore him and now he responded in style. Rahul’s inning offers a warning to all franchises who ignore the capabilities grown at home for other star power.
Rahul is not alien to playing in Bengaluru. As a result, since 2014 and 2016, he has been playing for Karnataka in domestic cricket formats. Shooting on Thursday was a reminder to both the RCB and the Karnataka team – he would never count him.
