However, as per the reports in Times of India, it is learned that KL Rahul is all set to play the game against Sunrisers Hyderabad. The keeper-batter will be joining the Delhi Capitals squad soon and now will be available for all the games of the franchise.

After the ICC Champions Trophy 2025, KL Rahul trained hard for the IPL 2025. The keeper-batter worked with Indian assistant coach Abhishek Nayar in Mumbai. He recently stated that he wants to make a comeback in the Indian T20I Team and IPL 2025 will be a great opportunity for him to put his case forward.
