KL Rahul’s Celebration Style
Former India captain Sunil Gavaskar, on the other hand, has stated that he does not understand why a century should be celebrated in this manner.
“This is something I’m not sure about. He’s turning down the volume, but when you’ve got a hundred, you want to hear the applause. He should do this when he has scored four, five, or six runs, but when you have a hundred, take it out and enjoy the applause “During the mid-innings break, Gavaskar told Star Sports.
With this knock, Rahul becomes only the second captain after Virat Kohli to score multiple centuries as a franchise captain. Rahul had previously scored a century while captaining the Punjab Kings in 2020.
Rahul is also the fourth batter in IPL history to hit at least two tons against a single franchise. In the IPL, Rahul has two centuries against the Mumbai Indians. Playing against the Mumbai Indians has brought out a different side of Rahul, as he has 764 runs against them, including two centuries and five fifties.
LSG scored 199/4 in 20 overs while batting first. Suryakumar Yadav and Dewald Brevis showed flashes of brilliance while chasing 200, but it wasn’t enough as Mumbai Indians suffered their sixth loss in a row.
