10.KL Rahul- OrangeCapisMine
Cricket is a team sport and the age-old concept of putting team over the self assumes paramount importance here. While a batsman might score a lot of runs, sometimes it might be detrimental to the team’s cause on some occasions. This is particularly true in limited-overs cricket. Even the ‘God of Cricket’ Sachin Tendulkar had his own share of atheists who felt that Tendulkar sometimes put the individual over the team.
Kings XI Punjab skipper KL Rahul too, faced a similar accusation in the 13th edition of the IPL. While Rahul ended up becoming the highest run-scorer in the 2020 edition of the IPL and won the Orange Cap, his runs were scored at a strike rate of under 130(129.34). Also, three out of the five half-centuries that he scored in the 13th IPL edition resulted in a loss for his side.
In the end, the Punjab side failed to qualify for the IPL playoffs and ended the tournament in sixth place. So, the password of OrangeCapsMine would fit perfectly in this scenario, wouldn’t it? Rahul was in decent form in the T20I series against Australia, aggregating 81 runs in the three games at an average of 27.00.
