Following his side's loss to Delhi Capitals (DC), Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) mentor Dinesh Karthik hailed KL Rahul's knock, calling him a "high-quality middle-order batter". KL stamped his authority against his former team at his domestic home ground as his knock of 93* in 53 during a tough-looking chase of 164 runs condemned RCB to their second-successive loss at home on Thursday.
Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) continued their poor home run in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025, registering their second successive defeat at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium following a loss to Delhi Capitals (DC) on Thursday. The Red and Gold outfit has looked like a different team this season, with their middle-order and bowling making contributions that give hope for a maiden trophy run. While they have looked unstoppable away from home, with three big wins against defending champions Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) and five-time champion teams Chennai Super Kings (CSK) and Mumbai Indians (MI), they have registered two back-to-back losses after posting totals in the 160s at Bengaluru.
From being panned as a stat-padder, who lacked intent from the word go to being a toast of tricky chases, KL Rahul has turned the wheels in a manner only a batter blessed with skill-set as his can. He printed the latest blueprint of his growth chart with an unbeaten 93 off 53 balls at a strike-rate of 175 on a gripping Chinnaswamy pitch to fashion Delhi Capitals's six-wicket win over Royal Challengers Bengaluru. Tim David (185) and Phil Salt (210) made runs at a higher strike-rate but through brute force and the readiness to travel on riskier routes either at Power Play or at the death overs.
Another sublime knock from KL Rahul guided Delhi Capitals to their fourth consecutive win of IPL 2025 as they defeated Royal Challengers Bengaluru by six wickets at the M. Chinnaswamy Stadium on Thursday. After opting to bowl first, Delhi Capitals, led by the spin attack of Kuldeep Yadav (2/17) and Vipraj Nigam (2/18), restricted the home side to 163/7 in their 20 overs, with standout knocks played by Phil Salt (37 in 17 balls, with four boundaries and three sixes) and Tim David (37* in 20 balls, with two fours and four sixes).
Delhi Capitals (DC) wicketkeeper-batter KL Rahul entered the top 10 run-getters in the Indian Premier League (IPL) on Thursday, overtaking the current Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) skipper Ajinkya Rahane and former Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) wicketkeeper-batter Dinesh Karthik. Rahul made this upward movement in charts during his side's IPL 2025 clash against RCB at his home ground of M Chinnaswamy Stadium on Friday. During a tough run-chase of 164 runs in which DC was restricted to 58/4, he played a free-flowing, aggressive and 360-degree knock of 93* in 53 balls, with seven fours and three sixes. His runs came at a strike rate of 175.47.
Delhi Capitals continued their unbeaten streak in the ongoing IPL with a stunning six-wicket win over Royal Challengers Bengaluru at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium on Thursday. Opting to bowl first, DC restricted RCB to 163/7 in 20 overs despite a strong start from Phil Salt (37 off 17 balls). Later in the chase, DC got a horrible start as they kept on losing wickets but KL Rahul's magnificent knock of 93* off 53 balls took them home in just 17.5 overs.
League leaders Delhi Capitals will aim to continue their winning start in the 2025 Indian Premier League (IPL) season when they visit the M. Chinnaswamy Stadium to take on the Royal Challengers Bengaluru on Thursday. The hosts have so far won three of their opening four games, but their only loss came at the Chinnaswamy Stadium, an eight-wicket defeat to Gujarat Titans in their first home game of the season so far. RCB come into the game on the back of their first win at the Wankhede Stadium in 10 years when they defeated the Mumbai Indians by 12 runs.
In a lighthearted moment, Delhi Capitals (DC) batter KL Rahul reminded his team's mentor, Kevin Pietersen, of his old social media post on him. Rahul, who was bought by DC for Rs 14 crore, hit a match-winning half-century, helping his side beat the Chennai Super Kings (CSK) on Saturday. Rahul hit 77 off 51 balls, slamming six four and three sixes, as DC maintained its 100 per cent record in IPL 2025. After the match, Rahul had a freewheeling chat with Pietersen, which was organised by the IPL.
