Bollywood superstar Suniel Shetty praised son-in-law KL Rahul after the batsman’s unbeaten half-century in the first ODI against Australia. Rahul – who was going through a rough patch – bounced back against Australia at Wankhede Stadium, Mumbai on Friday to lead India to a five-wicket win. He scored an unbeaten 75 to take the hosts out of the thick of the action and help them win the game. After the knock, Shetty was asked to comment on the innings and the response appeared to be an indirect but fiery attack on Venkatesh Prasad, who had previously criticized Rahul on social media for his batting.
“Upar wala jab hai na bahar koi kuch bhi bole (If God is with you, it doesn’t matter what outsiders say),” the Suniel Shetty said in a video.

For KL Rahul, it was a much-needed redemption. The talented hitter has been under fire for most of the past year. In all three formats, Rahul was unable to make major runs and that led to huge criticism.
However, that all changed on Friday as Rahul hit an unbeaten 75 to take India to victory over Australia in the first ODI of the three match series at home. Rahul batted as India struggled at 16 for 3. He then saw the side lose two more wickets with just 83 runs on board in a 189-run chase.
In the second ODI it was Australia who came out on top as they beat India by 10 wickets in Visakhapatnam.
