On Saturday, KL Rahul and Nitish Rana made history by establishing the highest partnership for the Delhi Capitals in the Indian Premier League (IPL), scoring 220 runs for the second wicket against the Punjab Kings in 2026. This remarkable feat surpassed the previous record of 189 runs set by David Warner and Naman Ojha in 2012. Rahul's stunning performance included an individual score of 152 runs off just 67 balls, marking the highest individual score by an Indian in IPL history. He became the third batter in IPL to exceed the 150-run mark, following Chris Gayle and Brendon McCullum. Rana's contribution of 44 runs complemented Rahul's innings, as the duo propelled Delhi Capitals to a dominant position after losing an early wicket. Their partnership is now the second-highest in IPL history, falling just short of the all-time record of 229 runs set by Virat Kohli and AB de Villiers in 2016.
