Rahul broke David Warner’s record
The record of scoring the fastest 5000 runs in IPL was in the name of David Warner till now. He had reached this milestone in 135 innings, but now Rahul has completed his five thousand runs in just 130 innings. The third name in this list is Virat Kohli, who crossed the five thousand run mark by playing 157 innings. At the same time, AB de Villiers scored this many runs by playing 161 IPL innings. Talking about Shikhar Dhawan, he has scored five thousand runs in 168 innings. KL Rahul has performed brilliantly this entire season. It is said that there was talk of giving him the captaincy of Delhi Capitals, but Rahul himself refused it and decided to play as a player under the captaincy of Akshar Patel. This move worked for Rahul, now he is showing a great game.
Rahul completed a brilliant half-century
This year, matches have been played between Lucknow Super Giants and Delhi Capitals twice so far. Delhi’s team won both the matches. Earlier when these two had a match, Rahul was not there, but in this match Rahul came and was seen showing his flair by batting brilliantly. He also completed his half-century during this. He played an unbeaten innings of 57 runs on 42 balls. Rahul first completed his half-century. After this, he scored 5000 runs by taking one more run and after that he gave victory to his team by hitting a brilliant six. This is Rahul’s third half-century in this year’s IPL.
Sanjiv Goenka kept staring
While KL Rahul was batting brilliantly against his old team i.e. Lucknow Super Giants, LSG owner Sanjiv Goenka was staring at him. Whenever Rahul was batting well, the camera was going towards Sanjiv every time. He was looking very disappointed. He left KL Rahul and included Rishabh Pant in his team for 27 crores, who has been continuously flopping. Now Sanjeev Goenka must be regretting his decision.
