Most recently, Delhi Capitals signed KL Rahul. He stole the show at the team dinner by imitating mentor Kevin Pietersen as well as vice-captain Faf du Plessis' trademark stances. Having joined the team late due to the birth of his baby girl, in the bonding session held in the lead-up to DC's IPL 2025 clash against Sunrisers Hyderabad on Sunday, Rahul entertained his teammates with his mimicry. He missed DC's opener against Lucknow Super Giants as he and his wife, Athiya Shetty, were recently blessed with a baby. To celebrate, the Capitals players did the cradle celebration in the dressing room after their nail-biting one-wicket win over LSG. Rahul joined the team in Visakhapatnam a little bit later and was invited to enjoy the very special team dinner. His comic imitations of Pietersen and Faf have now garnered millions of views on social media. First, he copied the stance of the Englishman before launching into his voice, saying, "Mate, any guesses?" The former England captain could hardly stop grinning afterwards. Later, Rahul also copied the batting posture of the former South African captain. We’ve watched KP. We’ve seen Faf bat. We recommend KL mimicking them both 😂 pic.twitter.com/I6fEVuS7zz — Delhi Capitals (@DelhiCapitals) March 29, 2025 Also Read: Watch: Coach Nehra loses his cool, screams at GT batters Rahul would be straightaway inducted into the playing XI of DC for the upcoming encounter. He is likely to replace Sameer Rizvi, who had a terrible outing against LSG, dropping Nicholas Pooran's catch and scoring just four runs before getting out. This time, he will be valuable for the DC, as Rahul was bought for INR 14 crore at the mega-auction. In the previous season, he had captained Lucknow and scored a pilgrimage of 520 runs across 14 innings, with four fifties to his name. Unfortunately, the seven wins in 14 matches led the team to the seventh position without a playoff berth.
