KL Rahul, IPL 2021's highest run-getter so far, may not feature for the Punjab Kings in IPL 2022 and is likely to be up for grabs in the upcoming auction, according to a Cricbuzz report. It has been learnt that the ex-RCB star has been approached by a few Indian Premier League (IPL) franchises.

Former Indian cricketer Gautam Gambhir is of the opinion that KL Rahul has more shots than anyone else in India and also he has more ability than Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli. Gambhir further added that Rahul was playing with a cautious approach for Punjab Kings due to the pressure of captaincy.

After smashing an unbeaten 98 off just 42 balls and to help his team gun down 135-run against CSK in just 13 overs, PBKS captain KL Rahul was delighted to do the job for the team. Punjab jumped to fifth spot after the win and will now rely on results of other teams to qualify for the playoffs.

MS Dhoni admitted that his side needed to improve on certain aspects, after Chennai Super Kings suffered a six-wicket defeat to Punjab Kings in Dubai on Thursday, October 7. Dhoni highlighted the need to be at best all the time, in a league in which any team can beat the opposition on a given day.
