KL Rahul Smashes Record-Breaking Century for Delhi Capitals, Becomes First to Score IPL Tons for Three Teams

KL Rahul delivered a masterclass in T20 batting, hammering a scintillating unbeaten 112 off 65 balls to propel Delhi Capitals (DC) to a formidable 199/3 against Gujarat Titans (GT) in their IPL 2025 clash on Sunday.


With this knock, Rahul etched his name in the history books on multiple fronts:

  • 5th IPL century — Second-most by an Indian after Virat Kohli (8)

  • 7th overall T20 hundred

  • First player to score IPL hundreds for three franchises — Punjab Kings, Lucknow Super Giants, and now Delhi Capitals

  • Fastest Indian to 8000 T20 runs (third overall by innings)

Promoted to the opening slot, Rahul was in majestic form from the get-go. He punished errant deliveries with effortless grace — 14 fours and 4 sixes peppered his innings. He started fluently with boundaries off Mohammed Siraj and never looked back, taking on big names like Kagiso Rabada and Rashid Khan with clinical precision.

Rahul’s knock was laced with classical strokeplay — clean drives, elegant pulls, and inventive shots including a lofted reverse-paddle to finish the innings. He reached his century with a pull shot, sparking loud cheers at the stadium.

While Rahul held one end, cameos from Abishek Porel (30 off 19), Axar Patel (25 off 16), and Tristan Stubbs (21 off 10)* added crucial momentum. Together, they took DC to a total that would challenge even GT’s potent batting lineup.

Rahul now joins elite company in the IPL’s century-makers list:

  • 8 – Virat Kohli

  • 7 – Jos Buttler

  • 6 – Chris Gayle

  • 5 – KL Rahul

This innings not only cements Rahul’s legacy as one of the most consistent performers in T20 cricket but also gives Delhi Capitals a vital push in their IPL 2025 campaign.
