What went wrong with KL Rahul’s innings?
Despite a good start from Abishek Porel, who scored 28 runs off just 11 balls, Delhi Capitals seemed to lose momentum quickly. Rahul batted at number 4, a position where he was expected to step up and provide impetus to the slow going inning.
But instead of taking charge, he slowed down the game. Rahul’s 39-ball 41 lacked the aggression that is generally needed in a T20 game. With plenty of dot balls, his innings frustrated the fans.
How did fans react to Rahul’s performance?
Fans expressed their disappointment on X. They flooded X with memes. Some humorously said that Rahul was playing for his old team RCB.
Here are some of the best reactions:
