KL Rahul Stats: Career Runs, Centuries and IPL Record

KL Rahul career by format

Tests: 70 caps; 4,288 runs; 12 centuries; a peak of 199, made versus England at Chennai in Dec 2016. Over the 68 Tests carrying full scorecards his average is 35.95, so the hundreds tend to be big rather than frequent.

ODIs: 101 games; 3,541 runs; 9 tons; officially topped by 129*. That knock sits outside the 93 fully scored ODIs here, which is why the tables stop at 112*. His one-day average of 49.74 beats every other format he plays.

T20Is: 72 appearances; 2,265 runs; two centuries; a ceiling of 110*. Twenty fifties from 66 innings point to steady scoring, at 138.66 per 100 balls. The most recent T20I with a scorecard on this page dates from 10 Nov 2022.

IPL: 5,815 runs and 6 tons, peaking at 152*, gathered for five franchises.

Centuries and highest scores

The century list has 27 innings: 11 of his 12 Test hundreds, 8 of his 9 in ODIs, both T20I hundreds and all 6 from the IPL. England have taken the brunt of it, with 199 at Chennai, 149 at The Oval in Sep 2018, 129 at Lord’s in Aug 2021, and two more in 2025, 137 at Headingley and 100 at Lord’s.

The T20I tons arrived early. One was 110* from 51 deliveries facing West Indies at Lauderhill in Aug 2016, the other 101* from 54 against England at Old Trafford in Jul 2018. In franchise cricket, his 67-ball 152* versus Punjab Kings (25 Apr 2026) is the highest score of his IPL career.

The runs-by-year table shows 2023 as his best international year with 1,203 runs at 57.29, and 2025 close behind with 1,180 and 3 hundreds. His lean years were 2018 and 2022, both with averages under 25.

IPL seasons, teams and recent form

Rahul has played for five IPL teams in this record: Royal Challengers Bengaluru, Sunrisers Hyderabad, Punjab Kings (then Kings XI Punjab), Lucknow Super Giants and Delhi Capitals.

For Delhi Capitals in 2026 he piled up 593 while striking at 174.41, the quickest season anywhere in his table.

England (2,048 runs, 7 hundreds) and Australia (1,947 runs) are the sides he has faced most. West Indies have been easiest, at an average of 54.77 with 4 hundreds, while South Africa hold him to 32.11.

His last 10 matches include a Test score of 82 against Sri Lanka in Aug 2026 and IPL innings of 75 and 60. His two ODIs against England in Jul 2026 brought only 1 and 12. Compare with Virat Kohli and the most IPL runs list.
