KL Rahul As An Opener For Delhi Capitals Remainder IPL 2025: The 18th season of IPL is starting again and no team has qualified for the playoffs yet. Delhi Capitals is also included in the race for the top 4. Delhi still has to play 3 league matches before the playoffs in the current season. Before this, big news is coming that Delhi is now looking to play key batsman KL Rahul as an opener, who has batted in the middle order on most occasions this season. Delhi Capitals want to strengthen their top order and for this reason Rahul can be promoted as an opener.
KL Rahul will play as an opener for Delhi Capitals!
Delhi Capitals tried many openers in the current season but did not get much success. Talking about KL Rahul, he has opened the innings only once this season. At the same time, he has been seen playing at number 3 twice and the rest of the innings have been played at number 4. Before the season, it was told that Rahul would play only at four but now there can be a change in his batting position.
Talking about Rahul’s performance in IPL 2025, he has scored 381 runs in 10 innings at an average of 47.62. During this, 3 half-century innings have also come from his bat. However, nothing special was seen from his bat in the last few innings. In such a situation, Delhi will hope that Rahul will do wonders as an opener and bring success to the team.
