In the IPL 2026 match against Punjab Kings (PBKS), KL Rahul delivered a stunning performance, scoring 152 not out, which is the highest individual score ever by an Indian in T20 cricket. This achievement surpasses the previous record held by Tilak Varma, who scored 151 against Meghalaya in 2024. Rahul's innings helped the Delhi Capitals (DC) secure a total of 264 for 2, their highest in IPL history and the seventh-highest overall in the tournament. The partnership between Rahul and Nitish Rana, which yielded 220 runs, is the second highest in IPL history, only behind the legendary duo of AB de Villiers and Virat Kohli. Rahul's century came off just 47 balls, marking his fastest in IPL, and he now boasts eight T20 centuries, remaining unbeaten in each of those innings. Additionally, DC's 42 boundaries in this match are tied for the second most in any IPL innings, showcasing their aggressive batting strategy.
