On his return home, Bengaluru-boy Rahul compiled a brilliant unbeaten 93, scoring his second successive half-century as he held the Delhi Capitals' innings together as they chased a target of 164. Rahul blasted six maximums and seven fours in his 53-ball knock and shared a 111-run partnership with Tristan Stubbs (38 not out) to help DC register their fourth win in four matches.
"It was a slightly tricky wicket but what helped me was being behind the stumps for 20 overs, watching how the wicket played. The ball sat in the wicket but it was consistent throughout, it was one-paced. I knew what my shots were, wanted to get off to a good start, and then assessed it accordingly. It depends on the conditions and the ground and the dimensions," Rahul said during the post-match presentation at the M. Chinnaswamy Stadium.
He said he could pace his innings as he realised which pockets to target to score his runs.
