IPL 2025: KL Rahul smashes 5th IPL ton in match vs GT

At the Arun Jaitley Stadium in Delhi, during the 60th IPL 2025 match between the Gujarat Titans and Delhi Capitals, KL Rahul delivered one of his best runs of his IPL career. The great batter played his swings, stood up, and achieved his fifth IPL century despite the lack of support at the other end.

DC faced the difficulty of putting up a respectable total after batting first on a wicket that was comparatively slower. Faf Du Plessis, whose poor record continued with a score of 5(10), was removed from the game early. Rahul was joined by Abhishek Porel, who scored a solid knock of 30(19), including two sixes and a four.

Axar Patel came into the middle after being dismissed and scored 25 (16), which included two fours and a six. All of the batters received starts, but Rahul was the only one who turned them into a significant one and aided DC. Tristan Stubbs came into the middle and aided Rahul when the captain was removed. Rahul was the least concerned as wickets continued to fall at the other end.

KL Rahul plays arguably the best knock of his IPL career

He continued to play his shots and went after the bowlers to keep the net run rate in check. Against a great bowling attack consisting of the likes of Mohammed Siraj, Arshad Khan, Kagiso Rabada, Prasidh Krishna, Rashid Khan, and R Sai Kishore, Rahul played arguably the best IPL knock of his career.

Rahul played with a mix of caution and aggression. He played lovely drives, cut the ball well, and hit lofted shots with perfection. Despite a lack of support, Rahul did not worry about avoiding a potential collapse and played with aggression, which kept the home side in the game.

In his stay in the middle, the right-handed batter carried the bat, and remained unbeaten with a score of 112*(65), which included a whopping 14 boundaries and 4 sixes. His knock came at a strike rate of 172.31, which was impressive. As a result, DC posted a good total of 199/3 on the board.
