KL Rahul Sets IPL Record Amid LSG Fallout

KL Rahul became the fastest batter in IPL history to reach 5,000 runs, accomplishing the feat in 130 innings and surpassing David Warner’s previous mark. Now playing for Delhi Capitals after leaving Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) due to a public fallout with owner Sanjiv Goenka, Rahul scored an unbeaten 57 against his former team to secure an eight-wicket win and strengthen Delhi's playoff prospects. The match was marked by a cold post-match handshake between Rahul and Goenka, underscoring lingering tension. Rahul has amassed 323 runs in seven innings this season, signaling a strong personal comeback. He expressed appreciation for his time at Lucknow on social media while focusing on a fresh start. Experts, including Cheteshwar Pujara, have praised Rahul’s resilience and impact for Delhi.
