One of the most consistent batsmen across all formats of the game, KL Rahul is said to be leaving Punjab Kings (PBKS) franchise after a 4-year stint.
Reports suggest that the star batsmen will say goodbye to the Punjab Kings in the wake of the IPL mega auction for the 15th season. It is learned that Rahul will join the Mumbai Indians team.
Rahul has scored 626 runs in 13 matches in the IPL 2021 season. However, despite being a great batsman, Rahul has been criticized for not giving the team the title as captain. He was signed by PBKS for Rs 11 crore at the IPL 2018 auction.
Mumbai Indians all-rounder Hardik Pandya is expected to be dropped from the squad. The IPL auction is likely to start in December this year.
