The "human ladder" moment during the Delhi Capitals' 2026 IPL practice has become a fan-favourite clip, showing the lighter side of two players who are having a massive impact on the field this season. While the Capitals were training, a powerful shot sent a ball into the tight mesh of the rooftop netting. KL Rahul didn't even look for a pole or a ladder. He simply turned to Jamieson and made a "reach up" motion. At 6'8", Kyle Jamieson barely had to jump. He casually plucked the ball from a height that would have required a step-ladder for anyone else.
Rahul burst out laughing and patted Jamieson’s shoulder, while other teammates like Axar Patel were seen chuckling in the background. This friendly interaction is a sharp contrast to the "fiery" Jamieson fans saw just days ago on May 1, 2026. Jamieson was recently handed a demerit point and a warning by the BCCI for an aggressive celebration after dismissing 15-year-old sensation Vaibhav Sooryavanshi. Despite the aggression, Jamieson later jokingly told reporters from The Indian Express, "I don't think I've ever been so fearful of a 15-year-old kid in my life".
KL Rahul outperforms himself in IPL 2026
KL Rahul is having a record-breaking IPL 2026 season with the Delhi Capitals, currently sitting near the top of the Orange Cap race. After moving to DC for ₹14 Crore, he has completely reinvented his T20 approach to focus on high-intent Powerplay batting. Rahul smashed an unbeaten 152 off 67 balls against Punjab Kings, becoming the first Indian to cross the 150-run mark in IPL history. This is the third-highest individual score ever in the IPL, trailing only Chris Gayle (175*) and Brendon McCullum (158*).
His strike rate for the 2026 season is hovering around 180.89, a massive jump from his career average of ~138. He is now the first player in IPL history to score multiple centuries for three different franchises. The battle for the most runs is intense, with Rahul frequently trading the top spot with SRH's power hitters.
