In February, 2022, K L Rahul completed 6000 runs in international cricket. Unfortunately, due to hamstring and groin injuries he was left out of the subsequent tours of West Indies and South Africa in the following months. He came back as captain once again in June 2022 during India's tour of Zimbabwe. He failed to score big runs during his tenure as captain. In February 2023, BCCI sacked his vice-captaincy. 

K L Rahul was purchased by Lucknow Super Giants for Rs 17.00 crores in IPL auction. On April 16, 2022, Rahul scored his first century for LSG. He scored 103* runs off 60 balls against Mumbai Indians.
