Rahul Evolves with Power: 152* Signals Six-Hitting Pivot

KL Rahul smashed 152 not out off 67 balls against Punjab Kings. It was the highest score by an Indian in T20s at Arun Jaitley Stadium. He cleared the ropes nine times and reached his IPL ton in 47 balls.

Delhi Capitals posted 264 for 2, powered by Nitish Rana's 91 off 44 balls. They shared a mammoth 220-run stand, but PBKS chased it down with six wickets in hand. Prabhsimran Singh blazed 76 off 26, while Shreyas Iyer finished unbeaten on 71 off 36. Axar Patel took 1 for 44, and Kuldeep Yadav claimed 2 for 46.

Per ESPNcricinfo, Rahul has worked on his six-hitting to adapt to T20 demands at a career's critical juncture. He's starting aggressive now, and the power shift shows in the numbers. CricViz tracks his boundary rate up 28% this season after DC folded for 195 chasing 242 in the previous SRH game.
