IPL franchise Punjab Kings are unhappy about KL Rahul leaving the team despite getting all the freedom as captain over the past two seasons and says it would be unethical if he has already been approached by a new franchise.

Rahul is linked to new franchise Lucknow and it has been reported that he is set to lead the team owned by the RPSG Group. “We wanted to retain Rahul but he wanted to go back into the auction. If he has been approached by another franchise before that, it would be unethical,” Punjab Kings co-owner Ness Wadia said. When asked about reports on Rahul being lured by Lucknow, Wadia said: “I hope not because that is against the guidelines set by the BCCI.”
