KL Rahul has etched his name higher in IPL annals by overtaking Virat Kohli in half-centuries as a wicketkeeper, yet MS Dhoni stays miles ahead. The opener’s 16th fifty propelled him past Kohli’s 15, a clinical display of timing and placement. Rahul’s poise under scoreboard pressure has become his hallmark. Dhoni, with 24 fifties, exemplifies mastery and leadership. Contextualizing the record: sustaining fifties requires skill and temperament, and Rahul’s rise reflects his evolution from a domestic star to an international mainstay. As teams battle for supremacy, Rahul’s form ignites hopes for Lucknow, while Kohli remains a staggering contributor overall.
