DC co-owner Parth Jindal, after acquiring wicketkeeper-batter KL Rahul for ₹14 crore, said he'll give the "love and respect" Rahul deserves. Calling Rahul a "good friend", Jindal said, "I hope he thrives in our atmosphere and wins...IPL for Delhi." Notably, LSG owner Sanjiv Goenka was seen publicly scolding then-LSG captain Rahul following their defeat against SRH during IPL 2024.
