Bat Breaks, But Not His Spirit – KL Rahul Gears Up for Playoff-Decider vs RCB!

KL Rahul is smashing it — quite literally. In a sign of how fired up he is for Delhi Capitals’ crucial clash against Royal Challengers Bangalore, Rahul hit a shot so hard in practice that his bat split into two. But if that bat broke, it only proved one thing: KL Rahul is in beast mode ahead of the big one.

Delhi Capitals’ Power Engine

Rahul has been Delhi Capitals' X-factor this season. Whether opening the innings or anchoring in the middle order, he’s adapted to every challenge, keeping the team firmly in the playoff hunt. Now, with Delhi just one win away from practically sealing a playoff berth, KL is dialing it up another notch.

The Viral Video: One Swing, One Broken Bat

In a video shared by Delhi Capitals, Rahul was seen smashing balls in the nets when suddenly — crack! — his bat split during a powerful shot. The ball likely sailed away, but the bat paid the price. His reaction? A stunned look, followed by some classic dressing room humor.

Akshar Patel Steals the Scene

Team captain Akshar Patel joined the fun, joking with Tristan Stubbs while holding the broken handle:
“Look at my new bat! Looks like a Mongoose bat!”
— turning a practice mishap into a laugh fest.

The Match That Could Decide It All

All this prep and intensity is for April 27, when Delhi Capitals face off against RCB at the Arun Jaitley Stadium. With both teams tied at 12 points, this clash is nothing short of a virtual qualifier. A win here could push Delhi one foot into the playoffs, and KL Rahul is ready to lead that charge.
