Hindustan Times  

KL Rahul is set to make a fresh start at the IPL as he will link up with Delhi Capitals for the 2025 Indian Premier League. After playing a key role in India's victorious 2025 Champions Trophy campaign, Rahul finds himself in unfamiliar territory, moving away from his long-standing role as a captain – and also as an opener – in the IPL. India's KL Rahul during Champions Trophy final The Delhi-based franchise secured Rahul for INR 14 crore in the IPL 2025 mega auction, following his release from Lucknow Super Giants. According to the report, DC’s batting lineup will feature Jake Fraser-McGurk, Faf du Plessis, and Abhishek Porel at the top, while Rahul will be deployed lower down to provide stability and experience. “After Harry Brook's decision to withdraw from the league, DC wanted a right-handed batter in the middle order, and Rahul fits the bill,” the report stated.
