Winning momentum of Delhi Capitals continued with a convincing six-wicket win over Royal Challengers Bengaluru in a match of IPL 2025 at the Chinnaswamy Stadium on Thursday.
However, it was KL Rahul’s rare burst of emotion that became the talk of the night. The local boy, who played an important role in Delhi’s fourth straight victory with a match-winning 93 no off 53 balls, marked the moment with a fierce celebration – thumping his chest and smashing the ground with his bat – a gesture that screamed ‘This is my ground’.
While Rahul's innings itself was a masterclass in calculated aggression and calm under pressure, the post-match scenes also caught the fans' attention. The celebration from Rahul became a topic of discussion even among the players.
Axar's Response
Even DC captain Axar Patel was seen mimicking Rahul in an exchange when he was heading back to the pavilion.
"Tera ground he yie," said Axar to Rahul in jest while he was heading back to the pavilion.
A video clip of the incident has gone viral over various social media platforms. In response several fans have flooded the comment box with interesting comments.
