But after that he asked for one more thing, which Delhi Capitals co-owner Parth Jindal told him after talking to KL Rahul. Not only this, his father-in-law i.e. Sunil Shetty told that after what KL told him about his future plans, he has become an even bigger fan of him.
What did Sunil Shetty say about KL Rahul?
Sunil Shetty told that when he was going through a bad time and was being badly trolled for his career, he told me - Dad, my bat will speak.

What else did KL Rahul ask for from Delhi Capitals?
On the other hand, after buying KL Rahul in the mega auction of IPL 2025, Delhi Capitals co-owner Parth Jindal spoke to him. Parth Jindal told ESPN Cricinfo that apart from 14 crores, KL Rahul has also asked for respect. He told that Rahul has said that he just wants to play cricket. He just wants love and support from the franchise. He said that he wants respect and hopes that he will get that from Delhi. Rahul is also desperate to play IPL for Delhi and make it win. He said that neither Delhi Capitals nor I have ever won the IPL, so why not win it together.
KL Rahul is currently with Team India in Australia and runs are being seen coming from his bat there. Meaning his bat has started speaking, which he has promised to Sunil Shetty. But the work will remain incomplete until Rahul writes a new story of records in the coming times with the same speaking bat. He returns every penny of the 14 crores that he got from Delhi.
