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.

CSK (Photo Source: BCCI/IPL) Five-time champions, Chennai Super Kings (CSK), are one of the most successful franchises in the history of the Indian Premier League, but the last season was not very good for them. In 2022, Ravindra Jadeja was appointed as the new captain in place of MS Dhoni, but the performance of the franchise was very poor that season. Jadeja left the team midway through the season and then Dhoni was reinstated as captain, but it did not help as CSK finished ninth in the points table. Under Dhoni’s captaincy, CSK won the IPL in 2023 and it was their fifth title. They were on the verge of defeat in the final against Gujarat Titans, but there again Ravindra Jadeja gave them the trophy by hitting a six and a four in the last two balls. The following year, Dhoni once again resigned from the captaincy and CSK failed to qualify for the playoffs for the second time in three years.
