KL Rahul’s Towering Six Off Shami Steals the Show as Delhi Capitals Thrash SRH in IPL 2025

Delhi Capitals‘ chase against Sunrisers Hyderabad in IPL 2025 saw a moment of brilliance from KL Rahul, who made his presence felt with a stunning six off Mohammed Shami. Rahul, known for his composure and classical stroke play, took an aggressive approach right from the start.

In the 11th over, facing Shami, Rahul displayed his intent with a monstrous six. The veteran pacer delivered a full-length ball on the middle and leg stump, but Rahul was ready. He got down on one knee and launched the ball deep into the stands, clearing the second tier with ease. The shot not only electrified the crowd but also put DC in the driver’s seat, asserting their dominance in the chase.

Despite his brief stay at the crease, scoring 15 runs off just five balls at a strike rate of over 300, Rahul’s six became one of the highlights of the match. His fearless approach indicated the aggressive brand of cricket Delhi Capitals aim to play this season.

Delhi Capitals Cruise to Victory

Chasing 163, DC got off to a blazing start with Faf du Plessis and Jake Fraser-McGurk taking charge. Du Plessis led the charge with a quick-fire 26-ball fifty before falling to SRH debutant Zeeshan Ansari. Fraser-McGurk also chipped in with valuable runs but departed soon after, leaving the chase slightly in the balance.

However, Rahul’s aggressive cameo, combined with steady knocks from Tristan Stubbs and Abhishek Porel, ensured DC had no trouble in sealing the win. The duo remained unbeaten as they guided the team home with four overs to spare, securing a comprehensive seven-wicket victory.

Earlier in the match, Mitchell Starc had starred with the ball, dismantling SRH’s batting lineup with a five-wicket haul. SRH, despite a fighting half-century from Aniket Verma, were bowled out for 162. Their struggles in the powerplay, losing key wickets like Travis Head, Abhishek Sharma, and Ishan Kishan early, proved costly.

With this win, Delhi Capitals have made a strong statement in IPL 2025, while KL Rahul’s six against Shami will be remembered as one of the most electrifying moments of the match.
