With just two days remaining until the commencement of the highly anticipated Indian Premier League season, excitement fills the air. The recent RCB Unbox event added fuel to the anticipation surrounding the IPL, and now we’re on the brink of the action. Virat Kohli, who stole the spotlight at the Unbox event, faced a slump in form a couple of seasons ago. Seeking divine intervention, he visited the Mahakaleshwar Jyotirlinga Temple in Ujjain, which resulted in a torrent of runs. Taking a page from Kohli’s book, KL Rahul has also paid a visit to the same temple ahead of the upcoming IPL season. Visuals of his visit are captured here.
Rahul, anticipated to occupy a middle-order batting position, holds the key to his team’s fortunes in IPL 2024.
Expected to arrive in Lucknow on March 20, Rahul might join his teammates a day later due to the pre-IPL Captains Conclave in Chennai on March 21. LSG’s opening match is against the Rajasthan Royals in Jaipur on March 24. The IPL kicks off on March 22 with CSK facing RCB.
