KL Rahul Reveals Real Inspiration Behind 'This Is My Ground' Celebration

Delhi Capitals (DC) wicketkeeper-batter KL Rahul opened up on his now-viral celebration following win over Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) and the movie which inspired it. After his valuable knocks in India's ICC Champions Trophy campaign this year, KL has not looked back. He played a knock of 93* in just 53 balls, laced with seven fours and six sixes in the IPL match against RCB.

After the win, KL, seen as a reserved and calm personality on the field, was extremely animated, thumping his chest and pointing towards the ground and at his jersey as if saying that it (M Chinnaswammy Stadium) is his. He was also seen tapping his bat on the ground.

Speaking in a video by DC, Rahul said, "This is a special place from me. This celebration was from one of my favourite movies, Kantara. So, a tiny reminder that this ground, this turf, this place where I grew up, is mine."
