    What's the story

    Indian opener KL Rahul impressed with his consistency in the three-match ODI series against England.

    He duly silenced the critics after enduing a lean patch in the shortest format.

    Rahul will now want to deliver in the upcoming edition of Indian Premier League.

    He will captain the revamped Punjab Kings for the second straight season.

    Here are Rahul's stats in the IPL.

    A look at his IPL career

    Rahul has been one of the most consistent performers in the IPL lately.

    He claimed the Orange Cap in 2020 after scoring 670 runs at 55.83.

    Rahul, who has represented Royal Challengers Bangalore, Sunrisers Hyderabad and Punjab, has aggregated 2,647 runs from 81 games at an average of 44.86.

    He has also registered two tons and 21 half-centuries in the tournament.
