KL Rahul has candidly revealed that he has considered retirement but believes he is not there yet. The Indian cricket icon shared in an interview with Kevin Pietersen that retirement won't be difficult as there is life aside from cricket.

Rahul, who has amassed impressive runs across formats, insists he doesn't see himself as irreplaceable, which will ease the eventual decision. He emphasizes focusing on family and acknowledging cricket's continuity beyond individual careers.

Discussing the challenges of injuries, Rahul admits they've been mentally taxing, often making him contemplate the end. Despite these setbacks, he is set to play in a crucial Ranji Trophy match for Karnataka this Thursday.
