Rahul will remain with the team
A report has claimed that Lucknow Supergiants will retain star wicketkeeper-batsman KL Rahul for the upcoming IPL season. He will be retained in the team but he will not be in the role of captain of the team in the next season.

There was a discussion about Captain in the meeting
The report quoted sources close to the franchise as saying that CEO Sanjiv Goenka held an official meeting on Monday. In which issues like team captaincy and retention were discussed. Goenka has full faith in Rahul, so he is in favor of keeping him in the team as a player. But there is a consideration of giving the captaincy of the team to some other player.
Who is in the race for captaincy?
There is also a discussion going on as to who will be given the captaincy of the team for IPL-2025. According to the report, the names of Krunal Pandya and Nicholas Pooran are leading in this race.
There was a disagreement last year
In the last edition of IPL, KL Rahul had an argument with team owner Sanjiv Goenka in front of the fans. According to sources, the LSG owner was not happy with Rahul's captaincy as Lucknow Super Giants could not qualify for the playoffs despite being in good form.
