IPL 2025: Happy To Have Got The Opportunity To Play At The Top Of The Order, Says KL Rahul
Chennai Super Kings: KL Rahul, who slammed a superb 77 to set up Delhi Capitals’ 25-run win over Chennai Super Kings in Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025, said he was happy about getting the chance to play as an opener and credited the work put on the mental side of things helping him adapt to any batting position.
On a not-so-easy pitch at the MA Chidambaram Stadium, Rahul opened the batting in the absence of an unfit Faf du Plessis. He was at 25 off 20 balls before flicking a switch to hit 36 off his next 18 balls and make 77 off 51 balls, laced with six fours and three sixes, as DC made 183/6, which was enough to get them a win in Chennai after 15 years.
"It's just how it's been. I am quite used to it. I was personally prepping to play at the top of the order before the IPL started. I had a chat with the coach, and he said he wanted me to bat at number four because we had a player who didn't turn up (Harry Brook). But I was happy that I got the opportunity today at the top of the order.”
