Ahead of their crucial match against the Chennai Super Kings (CSK), Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) captain KL Rahul was spotted engaging in a heartwarming conversation with his wife, Bollywood actress Athiya Shetty, at the Ekana Stadium. The couple, who tied the knot last year, shared a tender moment on the eve of the game.
In a viral video, Rahul, clad in his training gear, and Athiya, sporting an LSG matchday jersey, were seen chatting animatedly. The video captured the love and support they share, adding a touch of warmth to the intense atmosphere of the IPL.
Rahul’s 32nd birthday was celebrated with Athiya and the LSG team on Thursday. Athiya took to Instagram to express her love for her husband, posting a heartfelt message along with a photo of them together. “My whole heart for my whole life, happy birthday, my everything,” she wrote.
Beyond the personal moments, Rahul has also shared insights into his cricketing journey. In a recent interview, he revealed how he signed his first IPL contract with Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB). It was Virat Kohli who approached Rahul after being impressed by his performance in the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy.
“Virat asked me if I would like to play for RCB,” Rahul recalled. “I was thrilled and signed the contract immediately. Virat said it would be a crazy ride, and he was right. I gained invaluable knowledge and experience in those two months at RCB.”
Under Rahul’s leadership, LSG has made a strong impact in the IPL, qualifying for the playoffs in both of their seasons. His calm demeanor and strategic decision-making have been instrumental in the team’s success.
As LSG prepares to face CSK, the presence of Athiya Shetty at the stadium provides a source of inspiration and support for Rahul. The couple’s bond serves as a reminder that even in the midst of intense competition, love and family remain paramount.
