The Lucknow Super Giants are one of the two new teams to enter the competition and they would be very pleased with the squad they have managed to put together prior to their inaugural season.
Once the bidding war was over and Lucknow had its 21-member contingent ready, Rahul who will be leading the Lucknow side in the 15th edition of the Indian premier league shared a picture of the list he made of the names of the 21 squad members including himself. On Sunday Rahul posted a picture of himself noting down the names of the players his Lucknow franchise bought during the IPL auctions held on Saturday and Sunday. Rahul wrote the names of the players in his handwriting and shared the image on Instagram with the caption, “A new journey.”
Meanwhile, curious to understand how the picture was taken given both his hands could be seen the in image, Jimmy Neesham couldn’t resist asking his former IPL skipper Rahul this. Neesham, impressed with the photography skills of Rahul, couldn’t hold himself from responding to the same as he asked him, “You hold the phone in your mouth to take this?” To which, Rahul replied saying, “@jimmyneesham skills mate,” followed by laughing emojis. Notably, Jimmy Neesham played the 2020 IPL season for Punjab Kings, under the captaincy of KL Rahul. However he has been picked by the Rajasthan Royals for the 2022 season.
