KL Rahul Becomes Fastest Indian To Score 2000 Run In IPL Breaking Saachin Tendulkar’s Record
Kings XI Punjab’s (KXIP) skipper KL Rahul on Thursday became the fastest Indian to complete 2,000 runs in the Indian Premier League (IPL).
Rahul achieved the feat during the team’s clash against Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB).
Touching the number in his 60th innings, he broke the record previously held by former cricketer Sachin Tendulkar, who got to the mark in 63 innings. “2000 IPL runs for @klrahul11,” IPL’s official Twitter handle wrote. Overall, Chris Gayle tops the chart of scoring the fastest 2,000 runs in the league, reaching the figure in his 48th innings.
