IPL 2026: Abishek Porel Embodies Fearless New Generation Of Batters, Says KL Rahul
Indian Premier League: Delhi Capitals wicketkeeper‑batter KL Rahul has hailed Abishek Porel as a shining example of the fearless new generation of Indian batters, adding that he’s been impressed by his ability to hit sixes and access all parts of the ground without any fear of the situation in a game.
In their Indian Premier League (IPL) 2026 at the Arun Jaitley Stadium on Sunday, Porel, who’s been with DC since 2023, shone by hitting 51 off 31 balls, while sharing a 105-run stand with Rahul, who hit 56, as the Axar Patel-led side chased down the target of 194 set by Rajasthan Royals to win by five wickets and keep their playoffs hopes alive.
“It’s his ability to hit sixes and access all parts of the ground. The new guys who are coming in are all 360‑degree batters. Abishek Porel can hit you over long‑on for a six off the first ball, or he can scoop you over fine leg on the very first delivery. That kind of range is unusual, even among experienced players.
