Kl Rahul won the Orange Cap in IPL 2020 but is yet to get his hands on the IPL trophy as a captain, something which he would like to add to his resume.

Lucknow had named KL Rahul as one of the three draft picks ahead of IPL 2022 mega auction. The new IPL team paid a whopping amount of Rs 17 crore,  the highest retention fee in IPL history, to acquire Rahul.

Apart from Rahul,  Australian all-rounder Marcus Stoinis (Rs 9.2 crore) and young leg-spinner Ravi Bishnoi (Rs 4 crore), are the other two players who were picked by LSG.

Just a week before the start of this year's IPL, Lucknow Super Giants dealt with a major blow as their star speedster Mark Wood has been ruled out of the entire IPL 2022 due to an elbow injury. He was injured last week during ENG vs WI 1st Test.

According to a report in ESPN Cricinfo, the England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) has informed the Lucknow franchise about Wood's injury. The franchise has a few options to choose from.  However, no one's name has been finalized yet.
