KL Rahul

KL Rahul and Athiya Shetty are one of the many cricket-Bollywood pairs in India. They have been dating for quite some time now. Recently, in the IPL 2022 match between the Lucknow Super Giants and the Rajasthan Royals, Shetty was spotted at the stadium, cheering for Rahul with her family. Unfortunately, Rahul got out for a golden duck in that innings.

Nevertheless, the champion player bounced back in style with a century against the Mumbai Indians on Saturday afternoon. Playing his first afternoon match in LSG colors, Rahul lost the toss but made MI pay for their decision to bowl first on a batter-friendly surface.

Rahul opened the innings with Quinton de Kock and stitched up an excellent partnership of 52 runs for the first wicket. While de Kock lost his wicket to Fabian Allen, Rahul held one end and remained in the middle till the innings ended. He aggregated 103 runs off 60 deliveries, becoming the first player in Indian Premier League history to score a hundred for the Lucknow Super Giants.
