The timing of this gully cricket stint is particularly notable in light of KL Rahul's recent exclusion from the Indian cricket team for the upcoming T20 World Cup 2024. Despite being a consistent performer in the IPL and showcasing remarkable form across formats, Rahul's absence from the Indian squad came as a disappointment to many fans.

KL Rahul is currently leading Lucknow Super Giants in the IPL 2024 season. He is slated to play against Mumbai Indians in their final league stage game of the tournament on May 17. LSG is all but out of the playoff race after the match between Sunrisers Hyderabad and Gujarat Titans was abandoned due to rain on Thursday.
