IPL 2026: ‘I want MS Dhoni’s five trophies’- KL Rahul after surpassing him on IPL list
KL Rahul downplayed his personal milestone of surpassing MS Dhoni on the IPL all-time run-scorers list, emphasizing team success and trophies as his ultimate goal. Despite individual achievements, Rahul stated his primary focus remains on winning the IPL, aiming to match Dhoni's five championship titles.
Delhi Capitals’ KL Rahul has played down his latest personal milestone after overtaking MS Dhoni on the IPL all-time run-scorers list, insisting that team success remains his ultimate goal. Speaking on JioStar’s ‘Superstars’, Rahul admitted he was unaware of the achievement at first and made it clear what truly matters to him. “I didn’t even realise I had gone past Mahi bhai on the IPL’s all-time run-scorers list,” Rahul said.
“Honestly, the milestone I would love to match with MS Dhoni is his five IPL trophies that he’s won with CSK. ” Rahul emphasised that while individual numbers are rewarding, they are not his primary focus. “When you have a long career, personal achievements do feel special.
They tell you that your hard work and sacrifices have paid off,” he said. “But at the end of the day, cricket is a team sport. You want to win trophies.
You want to be part of successful sides. That has always been my goal. ” He also reiterated his commitment to delivering every season, regardless of the franchise he represents.
