KL Rahul wants more freedom in IPL 2025
Now that he has been released by LSG, KL Rahul wants to play with a team that offers more freedom in IPL 2025. The Karnataka batter revealed that he wanted to explore other options and find a side where could play well and with freedom. Citing the case of Gujarat Titans and Chennai Super Kings, Rahul said that he would feel better playing as a part of such balanced sides that do not pressurise the player on the basis of the result of a game.
“I felt like I wanted to start fresh, explore options, play well and find some freedom. You see teams like GT and CSK and you see that they are balanced if they win or lose. That environment gives the players best platform to perform. We did that with Flower, Gambhir and Langer,” KL Rahul added.
