KL Rahul's teammate from the national side, Suryakumar Yadav, also extended his congratulations to the delighted couple by commenting ‘congratulations’ on Rahul’s post.
The wicketkeeper was acquired for Rs 14 crore by Delhi Capitals during the 2024 IPL Mega Auctions following his exit from Lucknow, and he aims to excel in the shortest format after successfully reclaiming his place in the ODI and Test squads of the national team.
KL played a pivotal role in India’s triumphant 2025 Champions Trophy campaign. The wicketkeeper-batter proved dependable behind the stumps and was a key performer as a finisher with the bat. Out of four innings, he remained unbeaten on three occasions, notably scoring crucial runs of 42* and 34* against Australia and New Zealand in the semifinals and finals, respectively.
