KL Rahul becomes first Indian to cross the 150-run mark in an innings

An explosive marathon century from Delhi Capitals’ (DC) KL Rahul helped him tear into the record books, becoming the third cricketer to hit 150 runs in tournament history and registering the highest individual score by an Indian player in the IPL.

The flashes of KL’s attacking intent were always present in the matches so far, but the crowd at Arun Jaitley Stadium got a whole fireworks display from the Indian wicketkeeper-batter as he took out all the shots from his armoury to the delight of the home crowd, scoring an incredibly free-flowing 152* in 67 balls, with 16 fours and nine sixes against a strong Punjab Kings (PBKS) attack.
