KL Rahul<\/a> scripted history against Rajasthan Royals<\/a> on Sunday, becoming the player with the most 50+ scores against RR in IPL history, after yet another composed half-century in a high-pressure chase at the Arun Jaitley Stadium.The Delhi Capitals batter now has 9 fifty-plus scores in just 19 innings against Rajasthan Royals, moving clear of some of the biggest names in IPL history. AB de Villiers<\/a> follows next with 8 in 20 innings, while Shikhar Dhawan and Virat Kohli are tied on 7 each against RR.Most 50+ scores vs RR in IPL:<\/span>9 – KL Rahul (19 inns)8 – AB de Villiers (20 inns)7 – Shikhar Dhawan (24 inns)7 – Virat Kohli (33 inns)6 – Ishan Kishan (14 inns)This milestone also marked a bigger personal landmark for Rahul, as it was his 50th fifty in the IPL overall, joining an elite group of Indian batters in the tournament\u2019s history.Most 50+ scores in IPL overall:<\/span>76 – Virat Kohli66 – David Warner53 – Shikhar Dhawan51 – Rohit Sharma50 – KL RahulRahul\u2019s innings of 56 off 42 balls looked set to anchor Delhi\u2019s chase after Rajasthan posted 193\/8, but his stay ended just as the game tightened. He was bowled by Dasun Shanaka after misjudging a pace-off delivery that clipped the stumps.The dismissal came at a crucial stage, with Rahul\u2019s wicket giving Rajasthan Royals a vital opening after Delhi had fought their way into the chase. Despite his departure, Rahul\u2019s consistency once again stood out in a season where he has remained one of DC\u2019s most reliable batters.Earlier, Rajasthan had threatened to post a much bigger total after racing to 160\/2, but a superb spell from Mitchell Starc triggered a collapse that brought Delhi firmly back into the contest.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
