IPL 2025: KL Rahul out of race to become captain, a big decision was taken

After returning from the Champions Trophy, KL Rahul has taken a major decision on the captaincy. Rahul's decision is related to the captaincy of IPL. According to media reports, Rahul has rejected the captaincy of Delhi Capital in IPL 2025. The report said that the Delhi capital franchise offered a captaincy to Rahul, which he refused to accept.

KL Rahul rejected a big offer

According to media reports, KL Rahul rejected the captain's proposal and said that he wanted to contribute more to the team as a player. After KL Rahul refuses to captain the team, there is now speculation that Akshatar Patel may handle the Delhi franchise. Because the true struggle for captaincy was between these two names.

Rs 14 crore bid bid

Delhi Capital bought KL Rahul with a bid of Rs 14 crore in IPL 2025 mega auction. Because Rahul has the experience of captaincy in the first IPL. He was the captain of Punjab Kings in 2020-21 and from 2022 to 2024, he was the captain of Lucknow Super Veterans. In such a situation when he joined Delhi, his name was at the forefront of the captaincy race.

So does Rahul not accept the captaincy?

But now media reports are claiming that he wants to play only as a player, Rahul's decision can also work for Delhi. Rahul has been one of the most consistently performing players in the IPL. He has scored 500 or more runs out of 7 sessions of IPL played from 2018 to 2024.

Then who will be the captain?

If Rahul is not a captain, then the letter is sure to become captain. But the problem is that he does not experience captaincy as Rahul in IPL. As a player, he has often proved himself with both bats and balls. But he still has to prove himself as a captain. Perhaps the capitals of Delhi could give him an opportunity to do so.
