In IPL 2025, senior India batter KL Rahul amassed 539 runs in 13 matches at a strike rate of 149.72. Interestingly, he was slotted in the middle order to start with, as Jake Fraser-McGurk and Abhisek Porel opened the batting. Rahul was happy with his position but soon after Fraser-McGurk flopped and Faf du Plessis was injured, Rahul returned to the top order but that didn’t affect his form.
