In a commanding performance during the TATA IPL 2025 match between Delhi Capitals (DC) and Lucknow Super Giants (LSG), KL Rahul achieved a significant personal milestone with an unbeaten 57 runs off 42 balls, steering his team to a convincing victory.
The Instagram post by the official IPL handle celebrates Rahul’s achievement with the caption, “Clearly in a league of his own. An unbeaten 57* (42) from KL Rahul gets him a well-deserved milestone.” The post features Rahul in his Delhi Capitals jersey, applauding his stellar knock that not only stood out in the match but also helped him reach a significant milestone — 5000 IPL runs in just 130 innings, a record-breaking feat.
Rahul’s composed innings proved decisive as Delhi Capitals successfully chased down the target set by Lucknow Super Giants. His unbeaten 57 came at a crucial time, demonstrating his ability to anchor an innings while maintaining a healthy strike rate. The knock included several well-timed boundaries that helped ease the pressure during the chase.
The victory marks a significant achievement for the Delhi Capitals, as they completed a double over the Lucknow Super Giants this season, having defeated them in both their encounters.
A key factor in Delhi’s successful run chase was the partnership between KL Rahul and Abhisek Porel. The duo combined for a 50-run stand that significantly boosted Delhi’s momentum. Porel reached his first half-century of the season during this partnership, further strengthening Delhi’s position.
Delhi Capitals captain Axar Patel also played a vital role in securing the win with some powerful hitting. As highlighted in another post, “Captain Axar Patel adds two more sixes to power up DC’s chase,” showcasing his ability to accelerate when needed and support Rahul in the middle.
As the tournament progresses, KL Rahul’s form will be crucial for Delhi Capitals’ aspirations, with his experience and batting prowess providing stability to their lineup. The milestone achieved in this match adds another accomplishment to his already impressive IPL career statistics.
