Star India batsman KL Rahul is set to marry Hindi film actor Athiya Shetty on January 23, sources have told DailyExpertNews. Earlier on Saturday, the BCCI said the cricketer was resting for the upcoming series against New Zealand due to “family commitments”. Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli and MS Dhoni are expected to attend the wedding ceremony with their respective families.
In May 2022, Athiya’s father Suniel Shetty had opened up about Rahul. “She is a daughter, she will get married one day. I would like my son to get married too. The sooner the better! But it’s their choice. As for Rahul, I love the boy. It’s up to them to decide what to want to do, because times have changed. I would like them to make the decision. My blessings are always there,” the APK report said.
In April 2022, Pinkvilla reported that the couple has rented an apartment in Mumbai and will be moving in together soon. The Pinkvilla report said, “The couple are all set to move in together in a swanky 4BHK sea view apartment in a Carter Road apartment in Bandra. The rented apartment costs ₹10 lakh per month.”
Athiya Shetty and KL Rahul are regular trendsetters for their PDA and Instagram social media exchanges.
Recently, right-handed batsman KL Rahul scored an unbeaten 64* to help India seal victory in the second ODI against Sri Lanka. “At No. 5 you’re in for spin, I like it when the ball hits the bat. Ro (Rohit) is pretty clear he wants me to hit there (No. 5) and conveyed that to me,” said Rahul at a post-match press conference.
The batter compared his role as a middle-order batter to that of opening the inning, saying, “One thing I really like is that you don’t go back to bat quickly (compared to the role of an opener). You can put your feet up take a shower eat well and react to the situation If the team requires me to hit at a certain batting pace I try to do that as best I can More often than not just try doing work the team wants has been my mindset.”
