IPL 2025 | DC lose but KL Rahul breaks multiple records during 112 against GT
Rahul is currently playing for his fifth team in the IPL and has previously featured for Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) and SunRisers Hyderabad (SRH) in addition to representing LSG, PBKS and Delhi Capitals as well.
Delhi Capitals (DC) may have lost their Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025 game against Gujarat Titans (DC) on Sunday (May 18) but KL Rahul had one of the best days as a player. Rahul ended up scoring a ton - his fifth in the IPL - as DC put up 199/3 on the board in 20 overs which eventually proved insufficient before red-hot GT.
Here is the list of records broken by KL Rahul in DC vs GT IPL 2025 match:
Hundred for three different teams
Rahul scored 112 not out off 65 for DC and with that he became the first player in the IPL to hit a hundred for three different teams. He had previously hit centuries for Punjab Kings (erstwhile Kings XI Punjab) in 2019 and Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) in 2022.
