After this, KL Rahul broke his silence on his separation from LSG and said that he wants a fresh start, wants to play at a place where he gets some freedom. He wants to explore new options. Meanwhile, former India opener and commentator Aakash Chopra has advised Chennai Super Kings (CSK) to bid for KL Rahul. Aakash Chopra believes that Rahul is the right candidate to fill multiple spots in CSK’s lineup, especially as a wicketkeeper-batsman and potential captain. Aakash Chopra said on his YouTube channel, what do they want? I think they need Dhoni’s successor, a wicketkeeper-batsman and if they get an Indian then it’s great. Everyone is saying, let me also say – he is more than 30 years old, he is going to become a father. Everyone has also rejected it, so he is right for Chennai, he is KL Rahul. So they will definitely choose KL Rahul. Ashwin will also be on CSK’s target Apart from Rahul, Aakash Chopra hinted that CSK may also target experienced spinner Ravichandran Ashwin. Chopra said, CSK has struggled with spin options apart from Ravindra Jadeja. Ashwin can bring balance to his attack in his final IPL cycle. There is also speculation about KL Rahul re-joining Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB). He is ready to play with any team. Rahul’s ability to adapt to different roles could make him one of the most sought-after players in the auction.
