As the IPL 2025 retention deadline approaches, significant developments are unfolding regarding KL Rahul’s future with the Lucknow Super Giants (LSG). Reports suggest that LSG is unlikely to retain Rahulwith the franchise considering Nicholas Pooran as a potential new captain. This shift indicates that Rahul’s tenure with LSG may be coming to an end.
Rumours of KL Rahul’s move to MI
Speculation is rife about Rahul potentially returning to the Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB), where he began his IPL career. However, it appears that he might not be heading back to RCB after all. Instead, rumours are gaining traction that he could join the Mumbai Indians (MI), especially following a recent incident on social media that has caught the attention of fans.

Social Media speculation
The speculation intensified when Rahul followed the Mumbai Indians on Instagram shortly after news broke about his likely release from LSG. This move has led many to interpret it as a sign of his potential switch to MI. Furthermore, his close friendship with MI captain Hardik Pandya adds fuel to the speculation surrounding this possible transfer. While it remains uncertain whether Rahul has been following MI for an extended period or if this is a recent development, the timing has certainly raised eyebrows. If he does join the five-time champions, it would be a significant boost for the Mumbai-based franchise, as Rahul is a quality batter whose presence could enhance the team’s dynamics.
Fans and cricket experts are eagerly awaiting the official retention list, which is expected to be released on October 31. The outcome will determine where Rahul will play in IPL 2025 and whether he will continue with LSG or embark on a new chapter with another franchise.
