13 IPL franchises and the highest individual score by their wicket-keepers in IPL history

#10 Royal Challengers Bangalore - 68*(53) vs Mumbai Indians in 2016

Rahul's memorable innings was not enough as RCB failed to get over the line

2016 saw the rise of KL Rahul as a T20 batsman as the Karnataka boy smashed 397 runs for Royal Challengers Bangalore in the 14 matches he played for the franchise. His best performance of 68* (53) came against the Mumbai Indians at the Wankhede Stadium.

After Mumbai Indians invited the visitors to bat first, RCB got off to a rocky start as they lost their 3 cornerstones Virat Kohli, Chris Gayle and AB de Villiers with just 60 runs on the board. KL Rahul partnered with the likes of Shane Watson and Sachin Baby to lead the Bangalore side to a respectable total of 151/4. Rahul’s knock comprised 3 fours and 4 sixes.

However Mumbai won the match by 6 wickets as Ambati Rayudu, Kieron Pollard and Jos Buttler’s vital contributions helped them reach the target comfortably.
