KL Rahul Meets LSG Owner Sanjiv Goenka?

Being a player who promises consistency and has leadership acumen, KL Rahul is touted as a complete package. Franchises often get attracted by the features he offers and hence he remains a much-sought-after name in the Indian Premier League. Rahul is currently bound with LSG, where he has already spent three seasons. He formed a successful partnership with the current India head coach Gautam Gambhir in the first couple of seasons, as LSG advanced to the playoffs on both occasions. However, the third season proved to be a complete disaster, as the team finished 7th in the league. The failed season and the recent rumblings linking KL Rahul with Royal Challengers Bengaluru led to the assertions about Rahul wanting to end his stint with LSG.
