The 13th edition of the Indian Premier League will be played for 53 days, from September 19 to November 10, across three venues -- Abu Dhabi, Sharjah, and Dubai.
Rahul, who recently arrived in Dubai for IPL, said that he shares a very good relation with Kings XI Punjab coach Kumble.
The right-handed batsman also said that the former Indian skipper lays down the plan and he just has to follow it.
"Somebody like Anil bhai helps me immensely because I share a very good relationship off the field as we are from the same state and has made life as captain very easy," Rahul said in a video released by the Indian Premier League on their website.
"I know he (Anil Kumble) will do most of the planning and I just have to go out in the middle and carry it out," he added.
