KL Rahul, the captain of Lucknow Super Giants (LSG), was deeply touched when a young fan chose him as his most beloved player among the ten captains in the IPL 2023. The heartfelt moment was captured in a video that KL Rahul quote retweeted.
In the video, a boy was shown identifying all the captains displayed on a TV screen on May 21. When asked to select his favorite player, the boy promptly responded with “KL Rahul.” This heartwarming incident left a lasting impression on the right-handed batsman.

He was unfortunately forced to sit out due to a thigh injury he sustained during Lucknow Super Giants’ home match against Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) on May 1. This injury temporarily sidelined him from the tournament.
Unfortunately, Rahul’s injury has resulted in his unavailability for the highly anticipated World Test Championship (WTC) final between India and Australia. The prestigious match is set to commence on June 7 at The Oval in London.
To fill the void left by Rahul’s absence, the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has made the decision to include wicketkeeper-batsman Ishan Kishan as his replacement in the Indian squad for this significant event organized by the International Cricket Council (ICC).
