KL Rahul slams his 24th First-Class century: Key stats

Karnataka's KL Rahul scored a crucial fourth-innings century in their Ranji Trophy 2025-26 quarterfinal against Mumbai at the MCA-BKC Ground on Monday.

The 33-year-old hit his 24th First-Class century, reaching the milestone in 147 balls.

His innings was instrumental as Karnataka are chasing a target of 325 runs set by Mumbai.

Here we look at his performance and stats.

A vital hand from Rahul

Chasing a stiff target, Karnataka were off to a poor start with in-form opener Mayank Agarwal (3) departing cheaply.

However, Rahul then joined forces with his skipper Devdutt Padikkal (39), and the duo powered the team with an 84-run stand.

In Smaran Ravichandran, Rahul got another potent partner as the two batters powered Karnataka past 250 with their 130-plus partnership.

Rahul puts Karnataka on command

Rahul reached his century with a boundary, but did not celebrate much.

He had returned to the Karnataka Ranji side in its last group stage match against Punjab, where he scored a half-century in the first innings.

In this match, he scored 28 runs in the first innings before getting out to Mohit Avasthi.

He has now put Karnataka on command with a stunning fourth-innings hundred.
