KL Rahul, the Indian wicket-keeper batter, was absent from Delhi Capitals’ IPL 2025 opener against Lucknow Super Giants in Vizag due to personal reasons. He had missed the practice session the day before the match, sparking speculation about his availability for the game.

Despite Rahul’s absence, Delhi Capitals managed to put up a strong performance in their opening game, showcasing their depth and resilience as a team. Fans are hopeful that Rahul will return soon to bolster the team’s batting lineup and provide stability behind the stumps.
