KL Rahul to miss DC’s opening game against LSG

KL Rahul, the newly recruited batter for Delhi Capitals, will miss the team’s season opener against Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) on Monday due to personal reasons. The Indian cricketer, who is expecting his first child, rushed home to Mumbai on Sunday after learning that his wife, Athiya Shetty, could go into labor at any moment.

KL Rahul’s Personal Commitment

• Family Emergency: Rahul returned home to be with his wife, who is due to give birth soon.
• Team Support: The Delhi Capitals management granted him special permission to miss the match against his former franchise, LSG.
• Return to Action: Rahul is expected to rejoin the Delhi Capitals squad for their second match of the season against Sunrisers Hyderabad on March 30.

KL Rahul’s Form and IPL Journey

Rahul, who has been in excellent form, was a key player in India’s Champions Trophy triumph in Dubai. His recent performances have strengthened his position as a vital asset for Delhi Capitals.

• Form in Recent Matches: Rahul has consistently been in top form, with standout performances in recent international tournaments.
• Missing T20I Squad: Despite his excellent run, Rahul has not been included in India’s T20I squad, and he aims to reclaim his spot in the lineup.

A New Chapter for Rahul with Delhi Capitals

Before joining the Delhi Capitals camp in Visakhapatnam, Rahul had been training in Mumbai under India’s assistant coach Abhishek Nayar in preparation for the Indian Premier League (IPL) season. Rahul was bought by Delhi for INR 12 crore during the IPL mega auction after parting ways with LSG, a team he had led for the past three seasons.

As Rahul focuses on his personal life, fans are eager to see him return to action and continue his stellar form with Delhi Capitals.
