Cricketer KL Rahul created a record with his 5th century of his Indian Premier League (IPL) career and the 7th century of his T20 career. The match was between Delhi Capitals and Gujarat Titans at the Arun Jaitley Stadium in Delhi on Sunday May 18 in a vital match for both teams hoping to qualify for the playoffs.
The 33 year old Rahul opened the batting for the second time this season. He usually plays at number four or number three.
Rahul previously opened the batting for Deccan Chargers against Chennai Super Kings and won the Player of the Match award for his knock of 77 runs in 51 balls at the MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai last month
With his 5th century, Rahul etched his name in history by completing 8000 runs in T20 cricket. He also beat Virat Kohli’s long standing record to become the fastest Indian to reach this milestone in world cricket. In world cricket, he is the third fastest behind Cris Gayle and Babar Azam.
