KL Rahul will not participate in the upcoming 2026 Duleep Trophy final, as confirmed by South Zone captain Tilak Varma. The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) had requested Rahul's presence for the title match, but he will be unavailable.

Instead, the South Zone team will feature Devdutt Padikkal and Mohammed Siraj in the final.
