DTVHINDI“He will have to talk to himself”- Ganguly gave special advice to Rahul before the start of BGT.
Lucknow Super Giants released their captain KL Rahul ahead of the IPL 2025 mega-auction. During the last edition of the tournament, the keeper-batsman had an intense conversation with owner Sanjiv Goenka after the match against Sunrisers Hyderabad and it is believed that the relationship between them soured after that. Rahul will now try his luck in the mega-auction and former captain Sourav Ganguly is hopeful that he will get a good team that will understand his importance. He said that after the controversy with Goenka, the pressure might have increased on Rahul and said that the player has to talk to himself and then leave everything behind. He also highlighted that every player goes through ups and downs in his career and something similar happened with the 32-year-old. Sourav Ganguly gave important advice to KL Rahul before BGT Ganguly said there is a lot of pressure on Rahul ever since Indian Premier League (IPL) franchise Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) released him ahead of the 2025 mega auction of the cash-rich tournament. “He has to talk to himself,” he said as quoted by RevSportz. He has to talk to himself and say, just leave everything behind. Ups and downs are part of the game. Confidence keeps going up and down. You have to work hard in the nets and get your confidence back.” Ganguly further said, “I know he has gone through a lot. Lucknow Super Giants have released him. I don’t know if they will buy it back in the auction or not. I am sure he will get a good team and he will be able to recover his price in the IPL, but these things put pressure on players.” KL Rahul is currently on Australia tour and is part of the five-match Test series. It is considered certain that he will play in the Perth Test match, because Rohit Sharma is not available yet and Shubman Gill is also injured. In such a situation, he can play in the top order. Ganguly also said that if Rohit is not available then KL Rahul should open and Dhruv Jurel should play in the middle order.

Actually, there are 8 types of duck outs in cricket but in this article we will talk about 2 special duck outs which are Golden Duck out and Diamond Duck out. The question of golden duck out and diamond duck out arose in India vs Sri Lanka match In fact, in the second match of the 3-match T20 series played between India and Sri Lanka, Sri Lankan batsman Dasun Shanaka was out for the second consecutive time without opening his account. In the first match, he was run out without playing a ball, while in the second T20 match, he was out after playing 1 ball. Now in such a situation, there is a question in the minds of people that whether he got out on golden duck in both the matches or is it some other type of diamond duck out because he got out on zero in both the matches but he played 2 balls in one match and got out on the very first ball in one match. What is Golden Duck? When a batsman gets out on the very first ball, then it is called a golden duck out. Whereas, when a batsman gets out on the second ball without scoring any run, then it is called a silver duck out. That means Dasun Shanaka did not get a diamond but a golden and silver duck out. What is Diamond Duck Out? In cricket, when a batsman gets out without scoring any runs, it is called a duck. When a batsman gets out without playing a single ball, it is called a diamond duck. This happens when a batsman obstructs the fielding and gets out without being run out, timed out or facing the ball.

During this time he played Ranji and then white ball cricket. Has this made him a poor player? It’s not like that.” Ganguly said that this matter needs to be handled seriously and he should now talk to Ishaan.
