KL Rahul lit up the M. Chinnaswamy Stadium on Thursday night—not just with the bat, but with a celebration that made headlines across the cricketing world. After finishing off the chase with a towering six, the Bengaluru-born batter raised his bat like a sword, thumped his chest, and pointed to the ground. It was cold, calculated, and oozed intent. The roar from the crowd was instant. So was the curiosity—what was Rahul trying to say?

— Delhi Capitals (@DelhiCapitals) April 11, 2025 As speculation swirled, Rahul offered clarity post-match.“This is a special place for me,” Rahul told the Delhi Capitals media team after the game. “That celebration was from one of my favourite movies, Kantara. So, yeah, just a tiny reminder that this ground, this home, this turf is where I have grown up and this is mine.”
It was a fitting tribute. Much like Kantara, a film rooted in identity and belonging, Rahul’s celebration was a reminder of where he comes from. While many believed he might don the RCB colours this season, it was Delhi Capitals who snapped him up for Rs 14 crore—and they’re getting full value.
