IPL 2021: KL Rahul is becoming a big reason in Punjab’s defeat, statistics are evidence

Punjab Kings suffered a crushing defeat by 6 wickets against Delhi Capitals in IPL 2021. In the match, Punjab played the first innings of Mayank Agarwal’s 69 and captain KL Rahul’s 61 runs, but despite this, the team had to face defeat. By the way, if we consider some statistics, KL Rahul has been a big reason for Punjab’s defeat in the last few years.

Captain KL Rahul played 51 of 120 balls against Delhi Capitals alone. In this way, he faced 42 percent of the balls. But his run rate was 7.17, which is less than the run rate of 10.25. KL Rahul’s play like this made a big difference in the match and the Punjab team could not cross the 200 marks.

If you look at the figures from 2018 onwards, it is known that despite KL Rahul’s half-century, his team loses the match. His name is the highest 50+ in IPL defeats since 2018. Whenever he scored fifty or more runs in the match, the team lost 10 matches. In this case, he is followed by Hyderabad batsman Manish Pandey, whose team has lost 7 matches in 50+ scores.

At the same time, Kane Williamson is also standing on his par. After this, Warner, de Villiers and Rishabh Pant also scored 50+ after 2018, their team lost under 6 matches. KL Rahul’s IPL win record is not good. His winning percentage is 43.75 percent. KL Rahul’s innings in the IPL are of little use in the team’s victory.
