KL Rahul is widely known for his relaxed and elegant batting. He again demonstrated his expertise in the 60th match between Delhi Capitals and Gujarat Titans at the Arun Jaitley Stadium, Delhi. Pitted against quality GT bowlers such as Prasidh Krishna, Mohammed Siraj and Kagiso Rabada, Rahul remained composed and played intelligent cricket, and the DC better went on to a century, the first this season and fifth overall. Rahul Dominates DC Innings Post du Plessis Early Exit Gujarat Titans won the toss and decided to field first. KL Rahul went to start the innings with Faf du Plessis. But du Plessis got a poor start and got dismissed after scoring only 5 runs off 10 balls. Rahul, though, maintained one end intact and played cautiously, picking and choosing the right balls to play. One of his finest shots was played in the sixth over. The proteas speedster Kagiso Rabada delivered a full ball outside off stump. Rahul stepped forward and hammered it over mid-off boundary for a six. It was a smooth and clean shot that displayed his ability to time the ball.

If they lose, they will not be eliminated from the tournament, but it will be based on how other teams do. KL Rahul, with his 112 off 65 with 14 fours and four sixes, has guided his side to a good total of 199/3 Post-IPL break, Delhi Capitals introduced a crucial change by deploying Rahul to bat at the top of the order. Given that he is among their top batsmen, it is logical that more time be provided to him to bat and to set the tone from the front. Rahul proved the decision correct by dismantling every GT bowler in a must win game. The onus is now on the bowlers of DC to restrict the top heavy lineup of GT from chasing the total.
