After missing the Indian Premier League 2017 because of an injury, Lokesh Rahul made an expensive entry into IPL 2018 when Kings XI Punjab bought him for a whopping Rs 11 crores after some intense bidding war.

The Karnataka batsman is a technically gifted cricketer who has scored a lot of runs in the longer formats in domestic cricket. He was successful for India in Tests and also to an extent in IPL 2016 before an injury hit him hard. He never regained the form after making his comeback from injury.

Moreover, Rahul is not a natural T20 player. Also, neither is he in a good form at the moment nor proved his credibility at scoring runs quickly and consistently. Though he is a great player, Rs 11 crore is too much for him considering his recent struggles.
