KL Rahul is one of the best wicketkeeper batters that Karnataka has ever produced. Captaining the LSG in IPL 2024, the star was retained ahead of the IPL 2025 mega auction, which means that he will be available for other franchises for IPL 2025. He hasn’t performed at his best recently and will look to find his best possible form as he will be seen in action for the Indian Test Team in the upcoming Border-Gavaskar Trophy in Australia.

KL Rahul aims to return to India’s T20 cricket team after aiming to perform in IPL 2025 audition

The beleaguered KL Rahul is seeking to use the next IPL as a vehicle to stage a comeback to the Indian T20I side as he wants to remain involved in all three formats of the game.

The 32-year-old is in line to open the innings if skipper Rohit Sharma does not play in the first Test of the upcoming five-match Border-Gavaskar Trophy series at Perth.

Rahul’s form has been a cause of concern for the Indian team as he was recently dropped for the last two Tests against New Zealand at home with Sarfaraz Khan replacing him.

But the batter, who is pleasing to watch when in full flow, remains unperturbed by his lean run of form.

Since 2022, he has scored 514 runs in Tests from 12 matches (21 innings) at an average of 25.7, having registered three half-centuries and a century.

During the interaction, Rahul emphasised on always keeping the team ahead of his individual aspirations.

The Bengaluru man’s last Test hundred was against South Africa at Centurion in December 2023 and since then made just two fifties in nine innings.
