"Kamal Lajawaab Rahul.." - Fans praise KL Rahul after his stunning century in DC vs PBKS IPL 2026 clash

KL Rahul finally produced a powerful batting performance, as he slammed his sixth IPL century during the home IPL 2026 match against Punjab Kings (PBKS) on Saturday afternoon. His batting has helped Delhi Capitals (DC) to set a giant target for the unbeaten table topper Punjab Kings. 

After DC captain Axar Patel chose to bat first, while the opener Pathum Nissanka (11) fell early, the other opener KL Rahul and the no.3 batter Nitish Rana set a record partnership for the franchise. They had a 210-run partnership for the second wicket. While Rana (91) unfortunately missed his century, Rahul completed his sixth IPL century in 47 balls. 

After completing 50 runs in 26 balls, Rahul took 21 more balls to complete his second IPL hundred for Delhi Capitals. It was his fastest IPL century, as Rahul's previous fastest IPL century was in 56 balls against Mumbai Indians in Brabourne Stadium in the 2022 edition. 

Rahul became the second Indian batter and fourth overall batter to record at least six IPL centuries. The other three names in this list are Virat Kohli (8 centuries), Jos Buttler (7 centuries), and Chris Gayle (6 centuries). 

Rahul ended the innings with 152 not out off 67 balls with 16 fours and nine sixes. While he recorded the third-highest score in IPL history, Delhi Capitals managed the first innings total of 264/2 in 20 overs. While it was the highest total for DC, breaking their previous record total of 257/4, it was the seventh highest total in IPL history. Fans can't stop praising the experienced Indian batter for producing one of his unforgettable T20 knocks.
