Meanwhile, LSG owner Sanjiv Goenka on Wednesday called KL Rahul "an integral part of the franchise" amid speculations around his future in the team but remained evasive on player retention and captaincy for next IPL season. "As I've said, we have not taken any call till the retention rules are out," Goenka told reporters when asked about Rahul's future while unveiling Zaheer Khan as their team mentor.
"But KL has been an integral and important part of the LSG family since inception. He's played a very important role. He's like family and will be family," he added.
