Delhi Capitals fans, breathe easy, KL Rahul has arrived and he’s not here to just milk the singles. In Match 10 of IPL 2025 against Sunrisers Hyderabad at Vizag, the stylish right-hander walked out at No. 4 and made it crystal clear that this season, he is not holding back.

New Role, Same Class But Now With Intent

For years, KL Rahul has worn the tag of "Mr. Safe" in the IPL. Stylish? Absolutely. Reliable? No doubt. But if there’s been one criticism thrown his way, it’s that his strike rate hasn’t always matched the occasion. But on Sunday night in Vizag, Rahul decided to change that narrative.

Coming in at No. 4, a role unfamiliar to him in the IPL, the DC star sent a loud message across the league. He smashed a huge six off just his second delivery and then backed it up with two sizzling fours. It was short, sharp and spicy: 15 runs off just 5 balls. And just like that, KL 2.0 was born.

Sure, he was cleaned up by Zeeshan Ansari before he could really unleash but that intent was louder than any fifty. It’s not about how long you bat sometimes, it’s about how you make those balls count. And KL did just that.

Fans Can’t Keep Calm After Rahul’s Fiery Cameo Vs SRH

The moment Rahul stepped in and tonked that monster six off Mohammed Shami, Twitter went into a frenzy. Fans loved seeing the attacking version of Rahul, something they have been begging to see for years. Memes, praises, and some vintage KL love started pouring in as fans lauded his mindset and welcomed the change with open arms.

Here's a look at how fans reacted to KL Rahul’s batting:

DC In The Driver’s Seat

At the time of writing, Delhi Capitals are 142/3 in just 14 overs, cruising to what looks like their second straight win of IPL 2025.

With just 22 runs needed off 36 balls, it is safe to say the Rahul cameo played a perfect supporting act in what has been a near-flawless chase.
