KL Rahul seems to be in prolific touch with the bat for the Delhi Capitals franchise this IPL 2025 season. With three match-winning half-centuries, Rahul has emerged as the leading run-aggregator among all Delhi Capitals players with 371 runs from just nine innings.

The 33-year-old also finds himself on the verge of completing 8,000 runs in his T20 career overall, reaching just 43 runs away from the landmark figure. Given his current form, Rahul might as well reach the milestone in Delhi Capitals’ upcoming IPL 2025 match against the SRH in Hyderabad on Monday, May 5.
