KL Rahul is now a proud dad! He and his wife, Athiya Shetty, recently welcomed a baby girl. Because of this happy moment, KL missed the first game of the IPL 2025 against the Lucknow Super Giants, as he was in Mumbai celebrating. But he made it back to Visakhapatnam for the next match against the SunRisers Hyderabad, which turned out great for his team as they won by seven wickets.
The day before the game, KL was seen chatting with his teammate, Nitish Kumar Reddy, during practice. They talked about how KL felt about becoming a father. In a cute moment captured on video, Nitish asked, “How is your baby? Cute?” KL smiled and responded, “Of course, I’ll say cute,” and showed how tiny the baby was with his hands, clearly filled with joy.
Earlier, on March 24, KL Rahul and Athiya shared a lovely Instagram post announcing their new baby with a painting of two swans and the message, “Blessed with a baby girl.”
In their match against the SunRisers, the Delhi Capitals played fantastically, winning by seven wickets while chasing a total of 164 runs with 24 balls to spare. Mitchell Starc was the star player, taking five wickets and helping the team limit SRH’s score to 163 runs in just 19 overs. Faf du Plessis scored 50 runs, Jake Fraser-McGurk added 38, and Abishek Porel finished not out at 34. KL also made a quick 15 runs off just 5 balls, hitting two fours and a six.
Next up, the Delhi Capitals will face the Chennai Super Kings on Saturday, April 5, at the MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai.
