KL Rahul 152* off 67 — The Most Destructive IPL Innings of 2026 is Happening Right Now

Stop whatever you are doing. Open JioHotstar. Watch this innings.

Right now — April 25, 2026 — at the Arun Jaitley Stadium in New Delhi, KL Rahul is playing one of the greatest innings in the 19-year history of the Indian Premier League.

152 not out. 67 balls. Happening live. Right now.

The Innings That is Breaking Records

KL Rahul scored his 6th IPL century against Punjab Kings — a knock that has taken Delhi Capitals to an enormous total at the Arun Jaitley Stadium in Match 35 of IPL 2026. But a century was just the beginning. Rahul kept going. And going. And going.

152 not out off 67 balls. A strike rate of 226. This is not just batting. This is batting from another dimension. Rahul punished everything outside the off stump. He was dropped early by Shashank Singh at deep square leg — and made Punjab Kings pay for that drop in the most brutal way possible. 


Who Dropped Him — The Drop That Will Haunt PBKS

KL Rahul got a massive reprieve early in his innings. Arshdeep Singh bowled one short and Rahul sent it straight to Shashank Singh at square leg — who went for a reverse cup but spilled it completely. Arshdeep had already started celebrating before stopping midway. One dropped catch. One life given to KL Rahul. Punjab Kings will replay that moment for a very long time.


What This Means for the IPL 2026 Table

Punjab Kings came into this match as the only unbeaten team in IPL 2026 — 5 wins and 1 no result from 6 matches at the top of the table. Their aura of invincibility is being shattered by one man at the Arun Jaitley Stadium right now.

DC — a team that has been inconsistent all season — suddenly look like the most dangerous batting lineup in the tournament when KL Rahul is in this kind of form.


KL Rahul — The IPL's Most Underrated Match Winner

There is a tendency to undervalue KL Rahul in IPL conversations. His technique gets discussed. His strike rate gets debated. His captaincy at various franchises gets analysed.

And then he does this. 152 not out. 67 balls. Against the tournament's best team. On a hot April afternoon in Delhi.This is not a player finding form. This is a player announcing himself as one of the most destructive batters alive when the mood takes him.

Will AR Rahman Sing "Nee Singam Dhan" for Dhoni Tonight at CSK ROAR'26? — The Song That Was Made for This Moment

Imagine this. It is 8 PM at MA Chidambaram Stadium. Fifty thousand fans dressed in yellow are standing on their feet. AR Rahman is at the centre of the stage, the Chepauk floodlights glowing above him. MS Dhoni is somewhere in the stadium — the man who has made this ground his home for nearly two decades. And then the opening notes of Nee Singam Dhan begin. If that happens tonight at CSK ROAR'26, it will be one of the most goosebump moments in the history of Indian cricket. Not because of the cricket. Not because of the occasion. But because of four words from that song that were, unknowingly or knowingly, written for exactly this man, at exactly this moment in his career. Nee Singam Dhan — meaning You Are A Lion — is a powerful Tamil song composed by AR Rahman and sung by Sid Sriram. It was released in 2023 as part of the soundtrack of the Tamil film Pathu Thala. The lyrics were written by Vivek. The song is about a person of extraordinary strength and resilience. Someone who stan...
