The Delhi Capitals (DC) are geared up to lock horns with the Rajasthan Royals (RR) in the IPL 2026 match on Friday at the Sawai Mansingh Stadium in Jaipur.
Ahead of the match, DC`s star batsman KL Rahul said that he would love to match the milestone of clinching five IPL titles like MS Dhoni.
“I didn`t even realise I had gone past Mahi bhai on the IPL`s all-time run-scorers list. Honestly, the milestone I would love to match with MS Dhoni is his five IPL trophies that he’s won with CSK. When you have a long career, personal achievements do feel special. They tell you that your hard work and sacrifices have paid off,” he said on JioStar.
The right-handed batsman also said that he tries to give his best in every season irrespective of the team he plays for.
“At the end of the day, cricket is a team sport. You want to win trophies. You want to be part of successful sides. That has always been my goal. Every season, I give my best to win the IPL, no matter which team I play for. That matters the most to me. Personal milestones are good. They reassure me that I am on the right track. But what would truly make me happy is winning as many trophies as MS Dhoni,” added Rahul.
Currently, the Capitals are placed in the seventh position on the points table. Having played eight matches so far, they have secured wins in three games and have a net run rate (NRR) of -1.060 and six points.
On the other hand, the Royals are in the fourth position with six victories out of nine matches. They also have a net run rate (NRR) of +0.617 and 12 points.
