Watch KL Rahul Goes Unsold in Maharashtra T20 League Auction
KL Rahul has been playing the Maharashtra T20 league for a long time. But for the upcoming season, he has failed to find any bidders for the tournament. Rahul went unsold in the auction, as he would be unavailable for the league due to his national duties.
KL Rahul has been in the headlines right before the Test match between India and Afghanistan. He might have mistakenly registered himself for the Maharashtra T20 League, where he has played a number of seasons. And recently, the auction for this T20 League also took place, where the teams had an opportunity to build a strong squad.
Amidst all this, a video of the bidding when KL Rahul's name appeared has gone viral. No team made a bid for the Indian star and eventually he went unsold. This has received mixed reactions from fans all over the internet, as some are calling it a new low which has been set by the Indian wicket-keeper.

But it should be noted that not buying KL Rahul was a wise decision for all teams. He won't be available for the entire tournament due to the national commitments. Rahul will be participating in the series against Afghanistan, with the Test match beginning from tomorrow. Along with that, India is also scheduled for a tour of England in July.
Our Take
KL Rahul being unsold in the Maharashtra T20 League remains justified. But it still remains in question why did he register for the auction, if he knew he would be unavailable for the tournament. Right now, KL Rahul will be looking forward to focusing on the one off Test against Afghanistan, which begins from tomorrow.
