The first name on Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) retained players’ list ahead of Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024 auction was their skipper KL Rahul. Amid rumours of KL Rahul heading elsewhere from LSG, the Lucknow franchise in a tweet had confirmed Rahul’s retention with a post on micro-blogging platform ‘X’. LSG have qualified for the playoffs in each of their first two seasons in the IPL (2022 and 2023), but in 2024, they will look to go one step further by possibly reaching the final.
Rahul, however, could not play the full season this year after sustaining an injury. Rahul had injured his thigh while fielding in LSG’s game against Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) on 1 May, and was out of action for several months, only returning during India’s Asia Cup campaign in September.
