KL Rahul is back in the Indian Premier League and is back amongst run-getters as he continues his love-affair against the Chennai Super Kings. KL Rahul missed the first game of the tournament due to the birth of his daughter, but was back in the team for the clash against SRH.

However, it was during the match with CSK that the world witnessed why DC went all out and splashed 14 crores on the former Lucknow Super Giants captain. He slammed a 33-ball fifty against the Super Kings and achieved a stellar record as he joined an elite T20 batters' list.

This was KL Rahul's 6th fifty-plus scores Vs CSK in the IPL. He now has the joint fourth most fifty-plus scores against the Super Kings team and now sits alongside his national team coach, Gautam Gambhir, who also has the same scores vs them.

David Warner, the former Sunrisers and Delhi Capitals sits at the top of the pile with 10 scores of fifty and above. In the absence of Faf du Plessis who had a slight niggle, KL was promoted at the opening slot and he didn't disappoint as the Indian batter played with a new found aggression and took down CSK bowlers.
