IPL 2026: DC Assistant Coach Bell Likens ‘Intelligent’ Rahul To Root, Pietersen; Rallies Behind Under-fire Axar
Indian Premier League: Delhi Capitals' assistant coach Ian Bell drew glowing parallels between wicketkeeper-batter KL Rahul and England batting greats Kevin Pietersen and Joe Root, praising the Indian batter’s relentless work ethic and intelligence in evolving as a modern T20 batter ahead of Sunday’s Indian Premier League (IPL) 2026 clash against Rajasthan Royals at the Arun Jaitley Stadium.
Rahul, who has been the linchpin of DC’s misfiring batting line-up this season, has endured a lean patch since smashing a record-breaking, unbeaten 152 against Punjab Kings last month.
The elegant right-hander has crossed the 30-run mark just once in his last five innings. Overall, Rahul remains DC's top scorer this season with 477 runs from 12 matches at an average of 43.36 and a strike rate of 178, including three half-centuries and an unbeaten 152.
