Former India cricketer Dodda Ganesh says KL Rahul should consider entering the IPL auction if Rishabh Pant returns to Delhi Capitals. Multiple reports link Pant’s potential move back to Delhi to a possible trade involving Kuldeep Yadav, with Kuldeep potentially moving to Lucknow Super Giants. The advice comes amid differing assessments of the players’ recent IPL performances. Rahul has been described as having performed well for Delhi Capitals, strengthening his position with the franchise. Pant’s time with Lucknow, however, is characterized as less successful, which forms part of Ganesh’s reasoning for Rahul to evaluate his options if Pant takes up the wicketkeeping role again. The reports frame Ganesh’s comments as a recommendation for Rahul to explore an auction pathway rather than automatically remaining in the current setup, depending on roster decisions tied to Pant’s anticipated return.
