Why is KL Rahul not available for Delhi Capitals vs Lucknow Super Giants IPL clash?

KL Rahul is set to miss Delhi Capitals' IPL 2025 opener against Lucknow Super Giants in Visakhapatnam. The cricketer flew back home due to his wife's pregnancy. This absence is a big setback for DC as they had invested heavily in him during the IPL 2025 mega auction. Rahul had a successful ICC Champions Trophy campaign prior to IPL 2025.
