This is what his journey with LSG has been like

Before IPL 2022, KL Rahul left Punjab Kings and joined Lucknow Super Giants.

Let us tell you that this franchise was associated with IPL in the same year with Gujarat Titans. Lucknow handed over the command of the team to KL. In the very first season, this player led LSG to the playoffs under his captaincy.

However, in IPL 2023, this player got injured after the first few matches and was out of the entire tournament. In the next season, KL Rahul once again took over the captaincy of Lucknow Super Giants. This team could not do anything special in the last season and was eliminated from the league stage itself.
