Watch: KL Rahul drops F-Bomb after being humiliated by Zeeshan Ansari on DC debut

Delhi Capitals batter KL Rahul couldn't score big in his maiden outing for the franchise in the match against Sunrisers Hyderabad. The 10th game of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025 between the teams is taking place at the Dr YSR ACA-VDCA Cricket Stadium in Visakhapatnam.

KL Rahul, who walked out to bat at number four, came out all guns blazing as he slammed the boundary on the first ball that he faced. He then followed it up with the gigantic six and even after that didn't stop as he slammed his third ball for another four.

With the way KL Rahul started his innings, it was almost certain that he would come up with something special. But that wasn't the case as the Delhi Capitals batters couldn't carry on the start that he had and was removed in the very next over after he arrived to bat.

I have tried my best, I am trying to learn as much as I can from him Kevin Pietersen - Tristan Stubbs

Tristan Stubbs talked about the win, saying that they kept things simple and also said that the team balance was pretty good this time. He also mentioned that he is trying his best to learn from his mentor Kevin Pietersen. He said after the match:

"It looked a little bit slow, it looked like it was spinning throughout the day and the cutters were really working. Didn't seem like it was easiest to bat. We kept it simple, and put the guys whoever they felt needed to be in the hot spots. At 10 overs, we were chatting about conserving our energy because it was really hot out there.

"(On the team balance) Really good, Faf up top batted like a Dogpool, he was amazing. The new guys coming in have done phenomenally, hopefully we can keep going. I have tried my best, I am trying to learn as much as I can from him (Kevin Pietersen). I ask many questions."
