Cheteshwar Pujara criticized KL Rahul’s batting approach in the IPL 2025 match against RR, where Rahul scored 38 off 32 balls. Pujara felt that Rahul should have attacked the bowlers more aggressively instead of playing conservatively. Despite his slow start, Rahul managed to score 7* off three balls in the Super Over, helping DC secure a win over RR.

Rahul’s form has been inconsistent in the tournament, with a poor performance against MI where he only scored 15 runs off 13 balls. However, he showed glimpses of his potential in the Super Over against RR, taking advantage of the bowler’s tactics.

DC is currently at the top of the points table in IPL 2025 with 10 points from five wins and a defeat. On the other hand, RR is struggling at eighth place with two wins and five defeats. Rahul will need to find more consistency in his batting approach to help DC maintain their position at the top of the table.
