KL Rahul has often been related to class and grace. His batting style has always been filled with cricketing brilliance and supremacy. In the ongoing match between the Delhi Capitals and the Gujarat Titans, Rahul once again showed his class and cricketing brilliance against one of the best bowlers in mdoern cricket, Kagiso Rabada.
KL Rahul Stabilises DC Innings After Early Du Plessis Dismissal
Notably, the Gujarat Titans won the toss ahead of the game and put the Capitals to bat. KL Rahul walked out to open the innings along with Faf du Plessis. While the South African veteran struggled to find rhythm and succumbed after scoring 5 runs of 10 deliveries, Rahul held one end and targetted the bowlers very calculatively.
On the fifth delivery of the sixth over, Rahul played a shot that oozed class, brilliance and elegance. Kagiso Rabada pitched up the ball at the off stump line. Rahul pushed to his front foot and reached the pitch of the deliveruy to loft the ball over mid-off with unimaginable grace.
Delhi Capitals On The Brink Of Elimination
Notably, this is a crucial match for the Delhi Capitals. Even though, it would not spell elimination from them, their fate would depend on the performance of the other teams. KL Rahul has taken the responsibility to guide the Capitals to a competetive total despite a relatively start for the team.
The fact that the Capitals have decided to open with KL Rahul after the temporary suspension of IPL states that they have opted for a strategical shift. Rahul is one of the best batters in the line up and it makes perfect sense that they are trying to give him the most deliveries in a match.
