KL Rahul's intimate birthday celebrations with Athiya Shetty

KL Rahul shares birthday moments with wife Athiya Shetty and follows up with a match-winning half-century for LSG against RCB in IPL 2024.

"Happy birthday my person, love you so much. - Athiya Shetty"

Mumbai, April 20

Cricketer KL Rahul has offered a glimpse into his intimate birthday celebrations, accompanied by his wife, actor Athiya Shetty.

Taking to his Instagram, KL Rahul shared pictures from what appeared to be a restaurant, cutting his birthday cake.

Athiya could be seen cosying up beside her husband, offering an adorable glimpse of their bond.

"Thank you everyone for the love. Grateful for everything," the cricketer wrote.

Earlier on Saturday, Athiya Shetty marked her husband, KL Rahul's 34th birthday with a heartfelt Instagram post, offering fans a rare glimpse into their personal life through a series of intimate and previously unseen photographs.

In her post, Athiya referred to Rahul as "my person" and expressed her affection with the caption, "Happy birthday my person, love you so much."

The carousel of images traced their journey together, featuring moments from their wedding, holidays, and their new phase as parents. Among the highlights was a tender photograph from their wedding ceremony, showing Athiya embracing Rahul.

Another black-and-white image, seemingly from a holiday, captured a quieter, candid moment between the couple.

One of the most touching slides featured Rahul's hand placed beside their daughter's tiny feet.

Meanwhile, KL Rahul continued his fine run against the Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) with a match-winning half-century against the defending champions at Bengaluru on Saturday.

Rahul smashed 57 in 34 balls, with six fours and two sixes, with a strike rate of 167.65.

The Bengaluru-born batter holds an incredible record against RCB, scoring 839 runs in 18 innings at an average of 69.91 and a strike rate of 145.65, with a century and five fifties and a best score of 132*.

His batting average against RCB is the best by a batter against an opposition in IPL history (among players with a maximum of 500 runs), next to his own average of 65.1 against five-time champions Mumbai Indians (MI), against whom he has made 977 runs.

In five innings, this tournament, KL has scored 168 runs at an average of 33.60 and a strike rate of 168.00, with two fifties and a best score of 92.

First, happy birthday to the man! Second, his stats against RCB are just insane. 69.91 average? That's not just good, that's domination. Focus on the cricket please, the personal life is his own. But well played, KL!

The picture with the baby's feet... that got me. 🥺 Becoming parents changes everything. It's nice to see a celebrity couple keeping things real and intimate instead of a huge, flashy party. More power to them.

Respectfully, while I wish them well, I find the media's constant focus on cricketers' personal lives a bit much. The article is 80% about his birthday and 20% about a fantastic sporting performance. The innings deserved the headline, not the cake.

Bengaluru boy showing who's boss at the Chinnaswamy! Best birthday ever - a win and a fifty. His consistency against RCB is legendary. On a lighter note, Athiya's caption "my person" is so cute. They make a lovely jodi.

It's refreshing to see a sports-star and actor couple who seem so down-to-earth. No drama, just simple celebrations and support for each other's careers. Also, 167 strike rate in the match? That's how you celebrate! 🔥
