The reports have been making a buzz around the social media that KL Rahul has shown his interest in joining back Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) in the IPL 2022. It is also learnt that KL Rahul has been approached by a few interested franchises which are likely to go under the hammer to acquire him.

The 29-years old cricketer has joined team India?s bio bubble for the upcoming ICC T20 World Cup 2021 along with Rohit Sharma, Suryakumar Yadav, Ishan Kishan, Mohammad Shami and Jasprit Bumrah.
