Sun Nov 24 13:54:09 UTC 2024: **KL Rahul Joins Delhi Capitals for Significantly Reduced Price**

**New Delhi, November 24, 2024** – Indian cricketer KL Rahul, who captained the Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) in the previous IPL season, has been signed by the Delhi Capitals (DC) for a considerably lower price than anticipated. While many expected him to join Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB), Rahul was ultimately acquired by DC for ₹14 crore, a significant drop from his ₹17 crore salary with LSG.

Rahul, a highly successful IPL batsman with 4,683 runs in 132 matches, including 4 centuries and 37 half-centuries, was released by LSG after failing to lead the team to victory. His departure follows a reported public altercation with LSG owner Sanjeev Goenka following a heavy loss to Sunrisers Hyderabad last season.

Despite his impressive IPL record and status as a prolific run-scorer (including over 500 runs in six seasons and 520 runs last season), Rahul’s price reflects the risk associated with his recent performance and reported strained relationship with his former franchise. The significantly reduced price tag marks a surprising turn of events, as RCB initially showed interest before withdrawing their bid, leaving the way open for DC to secure his services.
