IPL 2026: Working On 'six-hitting' And Smashing From Ball One With Nayar Helped A Lot, Says Rahul
Arun Jaitley Stadium: Delhi Capitals skipper KL Rahul said his majestic knock of 152 not out was the result of sustained work done under Abhishek Nayar on adapting to the evolving demands of T20 cricket like six-hitting and aggression from ball one.
At the Arun Jaitley Stadium on Saturday, Rahul hit an unbeaten 152 off 67 balls, laced with 16 fours and nine sixes at a strike rate of 226. He now holds the record for the highest individual score by an Indian batter and the third highest overall in IPL history after Chris Gayle and Brendon McCullum.
Rahul also went past Tilak Varma to now hold the record for the highest individual score by an Indian batter in men’s T20s. "I was very pleased, very happy at the end of the first 20 overs. It's something that I've been working on for a very long time behind the scenes. Just said this last year as well, I spent a lot of time with Abhishek Nayar.
