KL Rahul To Be Retained But Not As Captain?
Another report carried by news agency IANS suggests that KL Rahul is set to be retained by LSG but will not be the captain of the team.
As per the report, KL Rahul will be stepping down from the LSG captaincy to focus more on his batting. The new captain remains undecided, with Krunal Pandya and Nicholas Pooran being the top contenders for the role.
“Rahul is unlikely to captain the side in the upcoming edition as he wants to explore himself more as a batter. Goenka has full confidence in Rahul and he will be retained as a player, but will not be seen captaining the side. We are still exploring the captaincy option but with BCCI agreeing on player retention conditions we have two players (Krunal Pandya and Nicholas Pooran) in race,” IANS quotes its sources as telling.
