After missing the opening match of Delhi Capitals (DC) of IPL 2025, Kl Rahul is probably available for the second match against Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) on March 30. With a six -day gap between the first and the second game, Rahul has enough time to get to speed. The Wicketkeeper had missed the match against his former side, Luckknow Super Giants (LSG), because he and his wife Athiya Shetty had recently welcomed their baby girl. In his absence, Ashutosh Sharma DC sent to a narrow victory over LSG.
Rahul joined the team after the match against LSG, and all seemed to smile during a team binding, where the players imitate each other and participated in light games.
He entertained his teammates through the percussion posture and the accent of DC mentor Kevin Pietersen in Spijkeren. “Size, are there a guesses?” Rahul asked jokes, while Pietersen burst out of laughter.
