Since its inception in 2008, the Indian Premier League (IPL) has consistently delivered exhilarating moments to cricket enthusiasts worldwide. With a plethora of talented players from across the globe, the IPL has witnessed remarkable displays of skill and prowess, particularly from its batting maestros.
Among these standout performers is KL Rahul, who swiftly rose to prominence and has maintained his dominance over the years. One such unforgettable display of Rahul’s brilliance came against Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) in the 2020 edition of the IPL. In an innings that blended elegance with power, Rahul hammered a sensational 132* off just 69 deliveries, showcasing his exceptional batting prowess.
This monumental innings remains Rahul’s top performance to date, encapsulating his ability to single-handedly dictate the course of a match. However, it is not the only instance where Rahul has left an indelible mark with his batting prowess. Here are four other remarkable performances by KL Rahul in the IPL:
– 100* vs MI in 2019
– 95* vs RR in 2018
– 94* vs MI in 2018
– 84* vs RR in 2018
Despite sustaining a right quadriceps injury during the India-England Test series, Rahul is steadily recovering and undergoing rehabilitation at the National Cricket Academy (NCA) following consultation with a specialist in London. With his rehabilitation progressing well, Rahul is expected to receive clearance to participate in IPL 2024 soon.
Ahead of the much-anticipated IPL season, Rahul and fellow cricketer Rishabh Pant reunited during an advertisement shoot. The star-studded lineup, including Hardik Pandya and Shreyas Iyer, came together to shoot a promotional campaign for the official broadcasters, adding to the excitement surrounding the upcoming tournament.
