Now, KL Rahul is creating something that is called a statement. Narrowly missed his maiden IPL 2025 century by 7 runs but gifted his team, Delhi Capitals, a crucial victory with his unbeaten 93 knock vs. Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB). This year's IPL is packed with full of notable moments and innings; multiple players who had struggled in the recent past are showing class in the league. The star India wicket keeper batter is one of them. The experienced wicketkeeper-batter, undoubtedly very talented, is often criticized for his inconsistency. It is true that he failed to justify his talent on multiple occasions with his national team, dropped from the team, and then again regained his spot. Rahul's career graph is filled with lots of ups and downs.

Last season, KL was the keeper of the Lucknow Super Giants (LSG), marking one of the unpleasant chapters of his career. For IPL 2025, Delhi Capitals roped in Rahul for a handsome amount of INR 14 crore. As per some media reports, he turned the leadership role to focus only on batting performance. It seems that his decision hit the sweet spot of the target. After missing out on DC's first IPL 2025 match, the father of a newborn baby girl played the following three matches with an all-new mentality, which left the opposing teams suffering. 

The India right-hand batter has played 3 matches in the IPL 2025 season so far, scoring a total of 185 runs. Rahul has remained not out once, with his highest score being an unbeaten 93. He averages an impressive 92.50 with a blistering strike rate of 169.72. The 32-year-old batter has recorded two half-centuries and has hit 15 fours and 10 sixes during this period.
