"Never seen KL Rahul this angry before"- Fans react to DC batter's ice-cold celebration after 93* vs RCB in Bengaluru

KL Rahul played the best knock of his Delhi Capitals stint so far in IPL 2025 on April 10. He scored an unbeaten 93* against the Royal Challengers Bengaluru at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium.

After the match ended, KL Rahul brought out an ice-cold celebration to make a statement to the RCB fans. Rahul hails from Karnataka, and he has played a lot of cricket at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru. It was his way of reminding the fans that no one knows the ground better than him.

Rahul came out to bat at number four after DC lost the wickets of Jake Fraser-McGurk and Faf du Plessis early in a run-chase of 164. Rahul showed intent right from the first ball and finished with 93 runs off 53 balls, hitting seven fours and six sixes. A fan shared a video of Rahul's intense celebration and wrote:

"Never seen KL RAHUL this ANGRY before!! He was Here to Make a STATEMENT."

A fan guessed in the comments box that Rahul probably wanted RCB to pick him at the auction, but they didn't, which is why he celebrated in this fashion.

"Looks like Bro wanted RCB to pick him," the fan tweeted.

Another fan jokingly wrote on X:

"Whoever has changed KL Rahul's mindset and reminded him of his true self, DM me. Humanity needs you."
