**Rahul Blasts Century, Makes IPL History as Delhi Capitals Down Titans**

**NEW DELHI:** KL Rahul etched his name in IPL history on Sunday, smashing an unbeaten century against the Gujarat Titans and becoming the first batsman to score hundreds for three different franchises. The Delhi Capitals opener reached the milestone in just 60 balls, hitting a boundary off Prasidh Krishna in the 19th over.

Rahul’s spectacular knock of 112 not out, off 65 balls, included 14 fours and 4 sixes. He anchored the Delhi innings after a slow start, forging crucial partnerships of 90 runs with Abhishek Porel (30) for the second wicket and 45 runs with captain Axar Patel (25) for the third.

This is Rahul’s fifth IPL century, adding to his previous tons for Punjab Kings (2019, 2020) and Lucknow Super Giants (2022). It’s his first for Delhi. He now stands fourth in the list of most IPL centuries, trailing only Virat Kohli (8), Jos Buttler (7), and Chris Gayle (6). He also has two international centuries for India, making this his seventh overall in T20 cricket.

Adding another feather to his cap, Rahul also became the fastest Indian to reach 8,000 runs in T20 cricket, achieving the feat in 224 innings, surpassing Virat Kohli’s record of 243 innings.

While Delhi Capitals put up a strong score, Arshad Khan, Prasidh Krishna and Sai Kishore each managed to grab a wicket for the Titans.
Rahul’s form has been outstanding in the IPL 2025 season, and he is currently the leading run-scorer for Delhi Capitals. His masterful innings powered his team to a strong position, contributing to their victory over the Gujarat Titans.
