Delhi Capitals’ winning momentum continued with a composed six-wicket win over Royal Challengers Bengaluru at the Chinnaswamy Stadium, but it was KL Rahul’s rare burst of emotion that became the talk of the night.
The local boy, who anchored Delhi’s fourth straight victory with a match-winning 93* off 53 balls, marked the moment with a fierce celebration – thumping his chest and smashing the ground with his bat – a gesture that screamed ‘This is my ground’.
While the innings itself was a masterclass in calculated aggression and calm under pressure, the post-match scenes also caught the fans’ attention. The celebration from Rahul became a topic of discussion even among the players, as Australia and RCB batter Tim David was seen mimicking Rahul in an exchange with DC’s Faf du Plessis.
The two appeared to chat about Rahul’s moment of fire, which had clearly left its mark beyond the boundary rope.
