The new season of the IPL has started in a great way for many players. KL Rahul is also one of them, for whom the start of the tournament has proved to be pleasant. But for Rahul, great has happened not inside the field but outside the field because as soon as the tournament started, he got the good news of the birth of his daughter. After this beautiful start, now Rahul is ready to show amazing performance on the field as well and is going to return to Delhi Capitals soon.
Indian wicketkeeper-batter KL Rahul became a father on 24 March. His Bollywood star wife Athiya Shetty has given birth to a daughter. The couple, who got married in February 2022, have got this happiness for the first time. Rahul wanted to be with his wife on this special occasion. Due to this, he was given leave from the first match of Delhi Capitals. Delhi Capitals played their first match on Monday 24 March, while Rahul had returned home a day before that.
Now after spending some time with his wife and newly born little daughter, Rahul is ready to return to the field again. According to the reports, Rahul, who has been in excellent form for some time, will return from the second match of Delhi Capitals. Delhi’s next match is on 30 March in Visakhapatnam at the ACA-VDCA Cricket Stadium.
This time the team will face Sunrisers Hyderabad, which registered a spectacular win in its very first match. Delhi, captained by Axar Patel, also won its match in a thrilling manner. But the second match will prove to be more challenging for them than before and in such a situation, Rahul’s return can increase their strength.
So far, the start of IPL 2025 has been strong especially for those players who have changed their team after the last season. Players like Shreyas Iyer, Ashutosh Sharma, Krunal Pandya, Ishan Kishan have made a mark by performing brilliantly in their very first match.
KL Rahul is also a part of the new team this time. After leading the Lucknow Super Giants for the last 3 seasons, Rahul has joined Delhi this time. Delhi had bought him for INR 14 crore in the mega auction. Now Rahul would also like to make a strong start to the new season.
