KL Rahul is an Indian cricketer who is known for his explosive batting in the T20 format. He is an opening batsman and has been a key member of the Indian cricket team in T20 cricket for many years.
Rahul’s T20 batting is characterized by his ability to hit the ball hard and cleanly. He has a wide range of strokes, including the powerful slog over mid-wicket and the delicate scoop over the wicket-keeper’s head. He is also adept at playing the anchor role, building innings, and setting a solid platform for the rest of the team to build on.
Rahul is particularly strong on the off-side, where he can hit the ball with power and precision. He is also comfortable against spin bowling, using his quick feet to get to the pitch of the ball and play it into gaps. His technique is sound, and he is able to adapt to different conditions and situations, making him a valuable asset to any T20 team.
KL Rahul was picked by Lucknow Super Giants at a whopping price of 17 crores in the 2022 IPL. This became the latest cricket news as the franchise named him the captain of the side.
Let us have a look at the top 3 knocks of KL Rahul in IPL history:
132*(69) PBKS vs RCB in 2020
When KL Rahul struck his first century against Royal Challengers Bangalore, he looked so glitzy. Punjab, which was given the opportunity to bat first, registered 206/3 on the scoreboard when KL struck 132* in 69 balls at a dizzying strike rate of 191.30. Not many people have taken that action while serving in a leadership capacity.
Afterwards, the RCB hitters found the aim to be difficult to pursue and banged on 109 when they came to bat. PBKS ultimately prevailed by a large score of 97 runs.
95*(70) KXIP vs RR in 2018
KXIP had a disastrous day in a league match against Rajasthan as they failed miserably to chase down 159 runs. Except for KL Rahul, who scored 95*(70), including 11 fours and 2 sixes, for his third-best IPL career total.
The other top-order hitters for Punjab were C. Gayle (1), K. Nair (3), and M. Tiwary (7/8), and RR was able to hold them to a total of 143/7.
100*(64) KXIP vs MI in 2019
In the 12th Indian Premier League, KL Rahul earned his second century against the “Mumbai Indians,” a rock stars’ squad. But he ended up on the disappointing side as Mumbai won the encounter by 3 wickets in the very last ball of the game. The match prediction turned in the favor of Mumbai Indians the moment KL Rahul got out.
As usual, Punjab again opted to bat first and put the score of 197/4 on the board, but their bowling couldn’t match the batting performance, and they failed in the match by 3 wickets.
