IPL 2026: Rahul’s Unbeaten 152, Rana’s 91 Powers DC To Gigantic 264/2 Against PBKS
Arun Jaitley Stadium: KL Rahul etched his name in the record books by smashing an unbeaten 152 - the highest score by an Indian batter in IPL’s history - to power Delhi Capitals to a mammoth 264/2 against a listless Punjab Kings at the Arun Jaitley Stadium on Saturday.
Rahul’s 67-ball masterclass was all about sublime strokeplay fetching him 16 fours and nine sixes at a strike rate of 226, thus making him only the third batter in the tournament’s history after Chris Gayle and Brendon McCullum to cross the 150-run mark. His monumental effort, combined with a blistering 91 from Nitish Rana, as the duo shared a massive 220-run stand off 95 balls propelled DC to their highest-ever IPL total on a sweltering 41-degree day.
PBKS were left to rue a nightmarish performance with the ball and in the field, headlined by Shashank Singh dropping Rahul when he was on just 12. Rahul ensured he made PBKS pay dearly for that reprieve, as the whole stadium reverberated with chants of his name.
