KL Rahul Released by Lucknow Franchise: Windies Player to Replace Him?
The Lucknow franchise has released KL Rahul ahead of the upcoming season of the Indian Premier League (IPL).
Rahul was the captain of the Lucknow team in the previous season, but he had a disappointing campaign with the bat, scoring only 265 runs in 15 matches.
The franchise has now decided to release Rahul and is reportedly looking at West Indies batsman Shimron Hetmyer as his replacement.
Hetmyer is a destructive batsman who has played 63 IPL matches, scoring 1,628 runs at an average of 27.13 and a strike rate of 152.16.
He has also played 71 One-Day Internationals and 63 Twenty20 Internationals for the West Indies, scoring 1,989 runs and 1,172 runs respectively.
If Hetmyer does join the Lucknow franchise, he will be a valuable addition to the team's batting lineup.
