IPL 2025: 'Emotional' KL Rahul Leaves 'home' Fans & RCB In Awe Of Him In Chinnaswamy Homecoming
Royal Challengers Bengaluru: The fervent crowd at Bengaluru’s M. Chinnaswamy Stadium is usually a massive home advantage for the Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) during the IPL. But on Thursday night, to hear the fans chant for an opposing player at RCB home turf in the IPL was quite telling.
The big reason fans draped in RCB colours did that in the stadium was their local lad, aka ‘namma huduga’ (own boy in Kannada) KL Rahul, who owned the stage on his homecoming by hitting a match-winning 93 not out off 53 balls and maintaining Delhi Capitals’ unbeaten run in IPL 2025.
It was a knock where Rahul had to grind it out on a sluggish black-soil pitch, before flicking a switch from the 12th over and accelerating stunningly to take DC home with 13 balls to spare. Following his winning shot - a six over the long-leg boundary off Yash Dayal’s full toss - Rahul proudly thumped his chest, as the crowd cheered loudly and some stood up to show respect for the local hero who secured the victory, albeit for DC.
