Cricket | Saturday | 26th September, 2020

KL Rahul hit the first century of the IPL 2020 ravaging an unbeaten score of 132 against Royal Challengers Bangalore on Thursday. What made the score considerably more exceptional was not just the way that it was Rahul's IPL hundred, yet a couple of great accomplishments he enlisted during his epic inning.

Rahul arrived at his fifty off 36 balls and took only 26 more to get to the three-figure mark. His knock contained 14 fours and seven sixes, controlling Kings XI Punjab to a great 206/3. Be that as it may, during his score, Rahul claimed two or three amazing individual accomplishments. The KXIP captain's score was the most elevated individual score by an IPL and furthermore, the most elevated score enrolled by an Indian cricketer in the IPL.

Rahul conquered David Warner's 126 against Kolkata Knight Riders in IPL 2017 to claim the record for the most noteworthy individual score by a skipper in the IPL. Behind Warner, it's Virender Sehwag's 119 for the Delhi Capitals (at that point Daredevils) at the third spot, trailed by Virat Kohli's thumps of 113, 109, and 108* against Kings XI, Gujarat Lions, and Rising Pune Supergiant individually, all scored during the 2016 release of the IPL.

Regarding the most elevated individual IPL score by an Indian batsman, Rahul outperformed Rishabh Pant's 128 against Sunrisers Hyderabad from IPL 2018, trailed by Murali Vijay's 127 versus Rajasthan Royals in 2010, Sehwag's 122 against Chennai Super Kings in 2014, and Paul Valthaty's 120 not out against CSK in 2011.
