KL Rahul is expected to go under the hammer in the IPL 2025 mega auction, as he is likely to be released by the Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) before the next season.

Many teams will be looking to acquire his services, but one team that will surely be keen to go after him is Chennai Super Kings.

On that note, let’s take a look at the top three reasons why Chennai Super Kings (CSK) should target Rahul in the IPL 2025 mega auction:

1. Captaincy

Although Chennai Super Kings handed over the captaincy reins to Ruturaj Gaikwad after MS Dhoni stepped down just before IPL 2024, they might still be looking for an experienced captain. In this regard, Rahul could be a suitable candidate, given his past experience as a captain.

2. A Reliable Wicket-Keeper

There is uncertainty surrounding MS Dhoni’s future in the IPL and when he might announce his retirement. If he decides not to play in IPL 2025 and finally hangs up his boots, KL Rahul could be a great option for wicket-keeping. 

There are very few players who can fill the shoes of MS Dhoni, one of the greatest wicket-keeper batsmen in Indian cricket history. While Rahul may not meet the exact expectations, he can come close.

3. Redemption for KL Rahul

Chennai Super Kings have always believed in players who have been discarded or isolated. KL Rahul is currently looking to find his form in the shortest format of the game after being dropped from the international setup. CSK could provide him with the platform to showcase his brilliance once again.
