KL Rahul, the wicketkeeper-batter for Delhi Capitals (DC), achieved a significant milestone by entering the top 10 run-scorers in Indian Premier League (IPL) history. Rahul surpassed Kolkata Knight Riders captain Ajinkya Rahane and veteran batter Dinesh Karthik during DC’s match against Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) in IPL 2025 on Friday.

DC struggled at 58/4 against a challenging chase of 164 runs at M Chinnaswamy Stadium before Rahul stepped in. He delivered an excellent, unbeaten inning of runs off just 53 balls, smashing seven fours and six impressive sixes. His aggressive batting, striking at 175.47, secured a crucial victory for DC.

Rahul’s Impressive IPL Career Record

Since making his IPL debut in 2013, Rahul has scored 4,868 runs from 135 matches at an outstanding average of 46.36 and a strike rate of 135.67. His consistent performances include four centuries and 39 half-centuries, with his highest IPL score being 132*.

Rahul’s most prolific IPL season came in 2020 with Punjab Kings (PBKS), where he claimed the Orange Cap by amassing 670 runs, including a century and five half-centuries.
