KL Rahul, who was recently announced as the skipper of Lucknow Supergiants hints on his franchise plan for the IPL 2022 mega-auction. The right-handed batsman was full of praise for Kagiso Rabada and Marco Jensen. And, the words coming from him make it clear that Supergiants will look to go all-out in the player’s auction on February 12 when their name comes out of the basket.
Kagiso Rabada is a well-experienced Proteas pacer, who consistently bowls at a pace of around 145 km/hr. The pacer has played for DC in the past seasons and did extremely well for his team. He was at his serious best in the Test series against India. On the other hand, Marco Jensen, who hogged the spotlight for his impressive pace and swing against India in the red-ball series is looked down as the next big thing in international cricket.

We all spoke about it after the series as well that he is going to be the next big thing in international cricket,” said Rahul.
