I most enjoyed playing at RCB, it’s home – KL Rahul

Ahead of the IPL 2025 Mega Auction that is the talk of town, star wicket-keeper batter KL Rahul laid emphasis on his special connection with Bengaluru, the Chinnaswamy Stadium and also turned the clock back to the time when he played for RCB.

In an interview with Star Sports, Rahul said, “I most enjoyed playing at RCB. It's also home. You get to spend a lot of time at home, and I know the Chinnaswamy [Stadium] really well. I've grown up playing on that ground. So yeah, I really enjoyed my time in RCB."

When asked about a potential re-association with RCB, Rahul added, “Yeah, of course like I said, it's kind of home and the people there know me as a local Kannada boy, and it would be nice to go back there and get an opportunity again. But yeah, it's an auction year so you can go anywhere."

He also underlined how the role of captaincy plays out for him, stating, “I would never go and ask someone for it (captaincy). If you feel that my leadership skills are good enough, and you find something good in the way I play my cricket and in the way I handle myself, the way that I handle the team that I've captained in the last four to five years, and if you find it worthy, then of course I'm happy to do it.”

He concluded by saying, “But it's not something that is a make or break for me. I just want to be part of a team that has a good environment. You feel loved, cared for and respected in that environment and everyone in that franchise has one single goal to win the idea. then that's a perfect fit."
