Is there something wrong with the bond between KL Rahul and DC management? Former CSK star hints there might be conflict going on just before the start of the season.
"Every year, the batting order is their conundrum, especially where KL Rahul should bat. I believe KL Rahul wants to open the innings. But, on the other side, the team management wants him to bat in the middle order," Badrinath said, speaking on his YouTube channel.
During the IPL 2025 season, Rahul was constantly switching between the top and middle order. This constant shuffle may have created frustration for him.
Despite Rahul scoring more than 500 runs in just 13 innings, the clarity on his batting role about where he should bat is still missing. This raises a serious question: Is Rahul happy with the DC management?
"This seems to be an ongoing conflict. They definitely have to solve this issue. It is unclear whether KL Rahul is happy in DC," he added.
Will DC fix Rahul’s role before the season starts? Or could this turn into a bigger dressing room drama? Only time will tell
