KL Rahul was spotted having a chat with few of his Lucknow teammates at the Ekana Stadium, which is Lucknow’s team home ground for the upcoming edition of the Indian T20 League. The players were seated in a circle and Rahul was seen having an animated conversation. Notably, Lucknow will play their second Indian T20 League season this season.
Lucknow had a good debut season as the franchise finished in the top 4 and qualified for the playoffs. Gautam Gambhir will mentor the franchise like the last season. The side won 9 matches and lost five. They ended on 18 points and finished at third place.
The KL Rahul led side have brought in some additions in the 2022 mini auction. Nicholas Pooran came in for a whopping 16 crore INR. Amit Mishra is also a part of the franchise. The other teams will have to contend with the fiery pace of Mark Wood.

Lucknow also brought the likes of Jaydev Unadkat, who will bring in the left-arm element in the side. Daniel Sams will play the all-rounder’s role. Romario Sheperd was also bagged by the side. The also picked up Afghanistan pacer Naveen-ul-Haq into the mix.
Pooran had a very below par season for Hyderabad last year. The West Indian did not have the best of times when he played for Punjab as well. Rahul will want to win a title with Lucknow after being unsuccessful at Punjab and Bangalore.
He would want to get the combinations right so that Lucknow will have a good season. Rahul has been under pressure with the bat in Tests and ODIs. Gambhir had, earlier, said that a good Indian T20 League season for Rahul would give him confidence.
The Indian T20 League will be held in 12 venues. This year, the home and away format will come back into the equation. The tickets have been sold out for most games already. Lucknow will want to create history in just their second season.
Let us take a look at the reactions on Twitter with regards to viral image of KL Rahul giving pep talk:

That will never happen. He have all the support from the LSG team management. If it was not KL Rahul then definitely he'll be removed from the team in the last auction itself.
