#1 KL Rahul hits awe-inspiring straight six off Kagiso Rabada's bowling

Opening the batting for DC, KL Rahul produced a glorious batting performance in the crucial encounter. The right-handed batter took the opposition bowlers to the cleaners, not even sparring ace South African speedster Kagiso Rabada.

He entertained the viewers by hitting four sixes and 14 fours. A shot that was talked about by fans a lot was his authoritative straight six off Rabada's bowling in the 11th over.

On the third ball, Rahul made room to play an attacking shot. Rabada saw the batter moving and followed him. The 33-year-old countered it by sending the ball for a maximum shot with a spectacular shot.

Here's a video of the six:

#2 Angry Kuldeep Yadav argues with umpire after GT opener Sai Sudharsan survives LBW DRS call

Sai Sudharsan had a narrow escape in the eighth over as he survived an LBW DRS call due to the 'umpire's call'. The southpaw went for the flick shot but was undone by the googly.

He missed the shot, and the ball ended up hitting the pad. Kuldeep appealed for LBW, but it was turned down by umpire Keyur Kelkar. DC opted for the review, and the ball-tracking showed wickets hitting as an umpire's call.

Kuldeep was visibly unhappy after seeing the replay on the big screen and even argued with the on-field official.

#3 Sai Sudharsan wows the crowd with a dazzling no-look six

Sai Sudharsan continued his imperious run by delivering another match-winning performance. The left-handed batter hit some wonderful shots, smashing four maximums and 12 fours.

On the first ball of the 12th over, Sudharsan played a superb no-look shot against T. Natarajan. It was a full-length delivery on the stumps. The batter sent the ball over the mid-wicket boundary nonchalantly, not even looking towards the ball after the shot.

The next match in IPL 2025 will see LSG host SRH at the Ekana Stadium on Monday, May 19.
