As the Delhi Capitals' IPL 2025 campaign came to an end, KL Rahul took to Instagram to share a touching message reflecting on his time with the franchise. The experienced Indian batter posted a photo of the entire DC squad with a heartfelt caption, "A mixed bag in the end. I walk away with memories, great friendships and lessons. Till next time."
Rahul, who joined Delhi Capitals this season after parting ways with Lucknow Super Giants, played a vital role as a senior figure in a youthful and evolving squad. While the Capitals showed flashes of brilliance throughout the tournament, inconsistency ultimately cost them a spot in the playoffs.
His Instagram story has quickly gained attention from fans and fellow cricketers, many of whom praised his maturity and leadership both on and off the field. Rahul’s message hints at a bittersweet experience — one filled with highs, lows, and valuable takeaways.
Though it's unclear what the future holds for KL Rahul in the IPL — whether he stays with Delhi or moves elsewhere — his parting words signal gratitude and optimism. As teams begin to regroup and plan for the 2026 season, Rahul’s journey remains one to watch closely.
