IPL 2019: Top 3 knocks by KL Rahul in IPL history

#3 94 Runs in 60 balls against Mumbai Indians, 2018

KL Rahul during his innings against Mumbai Indians

The 50th match in the 2018 season was played between Kings XI Punjab and Mumbai Indians, at the Wankhede stadium. Ravichandran Ashwin won the toss and asked Mumbai to bat first, and cameos from Suryakumar Yadav and Ishan Kishan gave them a decent start.

Veteran T20 cricketer Kieron Pollard finally hit form during the innings, and smashed a 23-ball 50 which included three massive sixes. Mumbai ended up posting a huge 186 runs on the board thanks to the efforts of Pollard and Co.

Chasing a hefty target, Punjab lost Chris Gayle early in the innings. But Aaron Finch and KL Rahul smashed the ball all across the ground, and the partnership threatened to take the game away from Mumbai Indians.

Jasprit Bumrah broke the 111-run stand between the two batsmen, after which Rahul continued the onslaught. He got out for a brilliant 94 runs in 60 balls, which included 10 fours and three sixes.

The innings certainly deserved a century, and should have come in a winning cause. Unfortunately for him though, his team lost the game by three runs.
