KL Rahul Breaks Virat Kohli's T20 Record With Snarling 61-Ball 68 Against Gujarat Titans

Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) skipper KL Rahul was left bamboozled as his side faltered in an unlikely manner, while chasing a paltry target of 136 runs against Gujarat Titans. Rahul himself scored a half-century but didn't manage to finish the innings. After Lucknow's defeat against Gujarat, even the franchise's skipper was lambasted even though he scored 68 runs. Rahul was criticised by many for his knock as it came in 61 balls. Though the match ended in a defeat for his side, Rahul did manage to break a record of Virat Kohli during the match.
