KL Rahul sold to Delhi Capitals for Rs 14 crore in IPL auction

KL Rahul was sold to Delhi Capitals for Rs 14 crore in the IPL auction, surpassing Chennai Super Kings' bid of Rs 13.75 crore. This marks a significant move for Rahul, who was released by Lucknow Super Giants. Rahul entered the auction with a base price of Rs 2 crore, seeking a fresh start after three seasons with Lucknow. He expressed a desire for a lighter team atmosphere and more freedom in his game. Despite strong individual performances, including over 1,200 runs in three seasons, Rahul faced criticism for his captaincy and strike rate. He has yet to win an IPL title despite his consistent scoring record.
