Delhi Capitals (DC) wicketkeeper batter KL Rahul has got back his mojo in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025. The Karnataka-born star missed DC's tournament opener against Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) because of personal reasons. KL Rahul has scored 185 runs in the three outings of the ongoing cash-rich league.
KL Rahul's unbeaten match winning knock came in his home ground during his last outing against Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) at M Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru. After registering a six wicked win against RCB, KL Rahul took his 'X' formerly known as Twitter, to share a picture
KL Rahul's wife Athiya Shetty also took to her Instagram to praise him for his match-winning knock against the Rajat Patidar-led side. Here is the screenshot of Athiya Shetty's story for her husband.
Speaking at the post-match presentation, Rahul shared insights into his approach and how his role as a wicketkeeper played a key part in understanding the conditions.
"It was a slightly tricky wicket but what helped me was being behind the stumps for 20 overs, watching how the wicket played," Rahul said.
"The ball sat in the wicket but it was consistent throughout, it was one-paced. I knew what my shots are, wanted to get off to a good start, and then assess it accordingly," he added.
