Delhi Capitals’ vice-captain KL Rahul achieved a major milestone during the ongoing IPL 2025 clash against Gujarat Titans by smashing his 200th six in IPL history. The landmark moment came early in his innings at the Narendra Modi Stadium, Ahmedabad, as Rahul continued his rich vein of form this season.
At the end of 3 overs, Delhi Capitals reached 41/1, with KL Rahul unbeaten on 12 off 5 deliveries, including 1 six and 1 four, striking at an impressive 240.00. He was well supported by Karun Nair, who is batting on 7 off 4. The pair has added 18 runs off 8 balls for the second wicket after the early dismissal of Abishek Porel (18 off 9), who was caught by Mohammed Siraj off Arshad Khan’s bowling.
Rahul’s ability to combine elegance with power has been on display season after season. Reaching the 200 sixes mark puts him in an elite bracket of power hitters in the IPL and further solidifies his reputation as a modern-day T20 great.
While Gujarat Titans opted to bowl first, the early overs haven’t gone their way. Siraj, despite being GT’s top performer with the ball this season, has gone for 33 runs in his 2 overs. Arshad Khan, however, provided some relief by picking up a crucial wicket and conceding just 8 runs in his first over.
Rahul’s milestone is not just personal—it has helped Delhi build a strong foundation as they look to post a commanding total.
