Indian cricketer KL Rahul left everyone awestruck with a spellbinding innings during the Delhi Capitals vs the Punjab Kings' IPL match on Saturday.

Creating history, KL Rahul managed to score a whopping 152 runs in just 67 balls, becoming the first Indian to have registered the highest individual score in the league. Only Chris Gayle (175) and Brendon McCullum (158) have managed to score more than him in the format.

Elated by her husband's impeccable performance, Athiya Shetty showered him with praises on social media. The 'Motichoor Chaknachoor' actress took to her Instagram stories and posted a video of her husband from the IPL match. "Ufffff @klrahul (sic)," she added the text.

KL Rahul managed to make a century just within 47 balls and later scored a massive total of 152 runs in 67 balls. During the innings, he smashed 16 fours and 9 sixes against the Punjab Kings.

However, the match was ultimately won by the Punjab Kings, who made a grand total of 264 at the loss of 4 wickets.

Talking about his performance, the cricketer said that he's taken a beating due to the heat and needed to hydrate and recover. "So it's mixed emotions at the moment. I hope I don't cramp later on," he shared.

For those who do not know, after dating for some time, Athiya and KL Rahul got married in an intimate ceremony on January 23, 2023.

Two years later, the lovebirds embraced parenthood as they welcomed their daughter, Evaarah, on March 24, 2025

Props to KL for that knock, but honestly, the team lost. Personal milestones don't matter if you don't win the match. Hope he focuses more on team game. And Athiya Shetty's posts? Cute but maybe too gushy for a sportsperson. 🙄

As a cricket fan, I've seen some innings but this was special. KL Rahul's timing and power were on another level. Too bad the bowling department let him down. Punjab Kings deserved to win though, great chase. Athiya and Ahan's reactions are adorable.

Yaar, this is peak KL Rahul tbh. Always performs when pressure is off but underwhelms when it matters most. 152 runs is insane but the team lost. Still, congratulations to him and Athiya on their new baby, Evaarah. Family first, cricket second. 👶

KL Rahul just etched his name in IPL history with that knock. First Indian to 152, only behind Gayle and McCullum. Athiya's reaction is totally justified 'Just Insane' is an understatement. The guy just became a dad and is smashing records! Legendary stuff.

Honestly, what a waste of an innings. KL Rahul scores his highest personal best but team loses. This sums up his captaincy tenure too. Personal glory over team result. Athiya and Ahan can cheer all they want, but fans want wins, not Instagram replays. Wake up, KL!
