Ananya Lohia , Delhi - Kl Rahul's century against Punjab Kings on April 25, 2026 marked his sixth IPL century, making him to sixth on the all-time- run scorers list. Indian cricket witnessed a landmark moment in the Indian Premier League as star batter KL Rahul etched his name into history. With a sensational innings, Rahul became the first Indian to breach the iconic 150-run mark in a single IPL match, joining an elite club previously occupied only by legends.

Walking in with Delhi needing control after Axar Patel chose to bat first at the Arun Jaitley Stadium, Rahul turned a strong start into one of the defining knocks of DC’s season. Delivering a masterclass in power-hitting and timing, KL Rahul dominated the opposition bowlers from the very start. His innings was a blend of elegant stroke play and explosive hitting, keeping fans on the edge of their seats throughout the match. Rahul's effort has taken him to the third spot in the list of highest individual scores in IPL behind Chris Gayle's 175* and Brendon McCullum's 158*.

Rahul’s achievement is particularly significant as he becomes the first Indian player to reach this milestone, underlining his stature as one of the finest T20 batters of his generation. His innings not only powered his team to a commanding total but also added a new chapter to IPL folklore. Notably, Delhi Capitals finished on 264/2 at the end of 20 overs, courtesy of Rahul and Rana's onslaught.

A commanding win, a record-breaking innings, and a night full of fireworks—this match will be remembered for years to come. If confirmed, Rahul’s feat could redefine batting benchmarks in the Indian Premier League and inspire a new generation of T20 stars.
