Even as Lucknow Super Giants owner Sanjiv Goenka has given strong indications about Rahul's retention ahead of IPL 2025, fans have wished for the opener to return to the Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) amid the reports floating around. It was with the Royal Challengers that the right-hander began his IPL career and was part of the squad when the franchise reached the final in 2016.
Here's the video of the fans' reception in Bengaluru:
Rishabh Pant returns to form, KL Rahul's 57 in vain as India B register a 76-run win:
Meanwhile, India B capitalised well on their 90-run lead after bowling India A for 231 in their first innings. Pant and Sarfaraz Khan, both of who had failed in their first innings made 61 and 46, respectively to set the opposition a 275-run target.
With the ball, Yash Dayal starred with three wickets, while Mukesh Kumar and Navdeep Saini took two each. KL Rahul was the only batter to pass fifty for India A, making 57, while Akash Deep chipped in with a 42-ball 43, but they slumped to a commanding defeat.
