In the recently concluded edition, he mustered 626 runs for Punjab Kings that he played at an average of well around 63. Moreover, the co-owner of Punjab Kings Ness Wadia has also shared his thoughts in an interview with NDTV 24×7 and said "There are many players apart from KL Rahul, firstly. One player does not make up a team, I’ve always said that.

Having said that, every player has a value and one thing I will say is we’ve learnt to adjust and adapt throughout. Any team that hinges too much on one player, that does prove beyond a point a liability." 

"I think KL is exemplary in anything and everything he has done. The way he has fought back after going through a lot of issues two years ago – he’s one of the only cricketers who is consistent. But like I said cricket is about 11 team members, not one.

As far as the right-to-match or retention (is concerned), whatever happens, we’ll be ready for it. That’s the IPL – we’ve learnt to adjust, adapt and go forward and keep smiling," he added.
