Delhi Capitals wicketkeeper-batter KL Rahul became the fastest Indian to reach the 200 sixes milestone in the IPL, having achieved the feat in 128th innings, against Gujarat Titans at the Narendra Modi Stadium on Saturday.

In doing so, he surpassed Rajasthan Royals captain Sanju Samson, who took 159 innings to reach the milestone. Other Indians on the list include MS Dhoni (165 innings), Virat Kohli (180 innings), Rohit Sharma (185 innings) and Suresh Raina (193 innings).

"Wanted Big Performer, Not Big Name": Preity Zinta Reacts As Fake Rishabh Pant Quote Goes Viral

Punjab Kings are off to a flying start to the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025 campaign under Shreyas Iyer.

Pant too seemed to be relieved not to be roped in by the Punjab franchise, and was happy to have joined Lucknow Super Giants for a record fee of INR 27 crore after being released by the Delhi Capitals. With PBKS enjoying a better campaign in comparison to LSG, a quote by Punjab co-owner Preity Zinta went viral on social media, though it turned out to be fake.
