As the IPL 2025 mega auction approaches, KL Rahul has finally addressed the question on every fan’s mind: where does he want to play next season? In a recent interview with Star Sports, Rahul hinted at a potential return to Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB), the team where he began his IPL journey and shared the dressing room with stars like Virat Kohli.
With Lucknow Super Giants releasing him, Rahul is now one of the most sought-after players for the auction, which will take place on November 24-25 in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. His experience, coupled with his adaptability, makes him a top pick for franchises, and his name is expected to spark intense bidding wars.
Open to a Return to RCB
Rahul spoke fondly about his time at RCB, where he initially played in 2013 and later rejoined in 2016.
“I loved playing for RCB at Chinnaswamy,” Rahul said. “Bengaluru is my home, and returning to that franchise would be a privilege. But let’s be realistic; the auction can take you anywhere.”
He shared how playing alongside Kohli and other RCB stars in front of the Bengaluru crowd holds a special place in his heart, and he’s eager to reunite with his former team if the opportunity arises.
With RCB retaining key players like Virat Kohli, Rajat Patidar, and Yash Dayal, Rahul could add depth to their lineup. However, he’s open to wherever the auction might lead him, as long as the team environment is positive.
Flexibility and Team Spirit Over Captaincy
Rahul also clarified that he’s not aiming for a captaincy role at his new franchise.
“I would never demand the captaincy. If the franchise sees me as a leader, that’s different. But my focus is on being in a supportive environment,” Rahul explained.
When asked to pick between Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli, and MS Dhoni as a teammate in 2025, Rahul was hesitant, saying:
“It’s a tough one. I’ve enjoyed playing with all of them.”
