Meanwhile, Rahul has been in stellar form in the IPL 2025 season. After leading Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) in previous editions, the right-handed batter was picked up by Delhi Capitals (DC) during the IPL mega auction. The wicketkeeper has already made a significant impact this season, scoring 238 runs in five matches at an impressive average of 59.50.

The Bengaluru-born cricketer’s standout performances include a blazing 77 against Chennai Super Kings (CSK) and a commanding 93* against Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB), a memorable knock in his hometown, which helped DC clinch a crucial win. His performances have made him a top contender for the Orange Cap this season, despite making a late entry into the competition.
