Parth Jindal, the co-owner of Delhi Capitals, recently made headlines for his indirect dig at Lucknow Super Giants’ owner, Sanjiv Goenka, after buying KL Rahul for INR 14 crore in the IPL auction. Rahul, who had a controversial exit from LSG, was welcomed by Jindal with open arms. The strained relationship between Rahul and Goenka was evident during the last IPL season, with public outbursts and disagreements leading to Rahul’s departure from the franchise.
Jindal expressed his admiration for Rahul, emphasizing the importance of treating him with love and respect. He mentioned that getting Rahul at a reasonable price allowed them to strengthen other areas in the team. Despite being one of the most sought-after players in the auction, Rahul ended up with Delhi Capitals, outbidding other top teams. Jindal highlighted Rahul’s consistency and exceptional talent as reasons for pursuing him in the auction.
Jindal also explained the strategic decision behind targeting Rahul, citing his impressive track record in the IPL and suitability for the Kotla ground. He acknowledged the competition from other teams with more budget but ultimately secured Rahul’s services for Delhi Capitals. With Rahul’s addition to the team, Jindal is hopeful that he will thrive in their environment and contribute to their success in the upcoming IPL season.
