The duo previously shared the bench in Kings XI Punjab in IPL 2018.
The former Batter Virender of India, Sehwag, praised Kl Rahul de Delhi Capitals (DC) for changing his batting approach in the Premier League (IPL) in progress in India 2025. The 46 -year -old man declared that he was always a good player. He opposed that winning the game is more important than playing with a high attack rate. Rahul is producing games winning for his team in this edition, which used to leave without finishing previously.
“Kl Rahul was never a bad player. He used to be confused by saying that the strike rate in IPL doesn’t matter. I know that the attack rate is not important in each game, but winning the game is. He used to leave his franchises in the middle without taking them to the victories. He was not completing his work in the past. But now he is winning the games,” said Sehwag (through Crithoday).
Rahul was awarded the consecutive players of the game after his heroic against Chennai Super Kings and Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB). He played two winning blows of the game of 77 (51) and 93* (53) in Chepauk and Chinnaswamy, respectively.
