Tue Nov 12 15:24:32 UTC 2024: ## KL Rahul Wants Back in India’s T20 Team After Long Absence
**Lucknow, India:** Former Indian vice-captain KL Rahul has expressed his desire to return to the T20 format, despite not featuring in the format since the 2022 T20 World Cup semi-final. Rahul has been out of the Indian T20 team since then, only playing in the ODI and Test formats.
While speaking about his recent departure from the Lucknow Super Giants (LSG), Rahul hinted at wanting more freedom to play his natural game. This statement could be interpreted as his desire to get back into the T20 team.
Rahul’s performance in the recent T20 World Cup was underwhelming, scoring just 5 runs in the semi-final. However, he is known for his impactful performances in the shortest format, and his comeback could be a boost for the Indian T20 team.
The selection committee is currently focusing on the upcoming Border-Gavaskar Trophy against Australia, but Rahul’s public statement may force a re-evaluation of his place in the T20 team.
