‘The Universe Boss’, KL Rahul who is also the captain of Kings XI Punjab has gained a lot of attention in the media after Former Indian opening batsman Gautam Gambhir made a statement Infront of the media. Gambhir said these words while he was at a Star Sports Show called Cricket Connected.

Gautam Gambhir further mentioned that KL Rahul’s captaincy will be the major thing for which he is looking forward to this IPL.

Gautam Gambhir said, “I would want to genuinely watch what KL Rahul does in this IPL. Because according to me KL Rahul is a fantastic T20 cricketer, probably not Test cricket, but definitely T20 and white-ball cricketer. This time he has got the captaincy. We will have to see if he relishes the captaincy because there have been a lot of promising players who have relished captaincy and there have been many other promising players who have been pulled down by the pressures of captaincy.”

This is the first time in his career that Rahul will be appointed as the captain of an IPL team. KL Rahul will be supported by the one and only cricket legend Anil Kumble, who will be the coach for Kings XI Punjab.

KL Rahul has been a very significant and impactful player in the last two editions of IPL. The statistics say that made a total of 1252 runs in IPL 2018 and next year in IPL 2019 he was the highest run-scorer.

Take a bow, @klrahul11
