Delhi: Former India openers Akash Chopra Suggested chennai super kings Should consider signing Kuala Lumpur Rahul as a potential successor MS Dhoni.
Five-time IPL champions have retained their captain Ruturaj Gaikwadas well as key players Ravindra Jadeja, Shivam Dube and Matheesha Pathirana, while MS Dhoni remains in the list as an uncapped player.
With CSK looking for a suitable replacement for the legendary wicketkeeper-batsman, Chopra believes Rahul could be a great choice for the role.
“What do they need? I feel they need Dhoni’s successor, a wicketkeeper-batsman and it would be great if they get an Indian. Everyone is saying it and let me say it too – he is already in his 30s It will be soon he will become a father and everyone has abandoned him so he is perfect for Chennai and that is KL Rahul so they will definitely choose KL Rahul,” said Aakash Chopra on his YouTube channel .
“We can’t say for how long they will last, but they will try to buy him because the team has Rs 55 crore to spend. So if they can get an Indian like him, Ishan Kishan or Rishabh Pant for Rs 10 , 150 million pounds, they may consider Shreyas Iyer for some time as they need Indian batsmen to bat in such conditions,” he added.
Rahul, who captained LSG for three consecutive seasons, is noticeably absent from their reserved roster, which makes him available indian cricket league 2025 The big auction will be held in Jeddah on November 24 and 25, where he will be one of the most popular players.
