Ind Vs WI: KL Rahul Marks Ahmedabad Hundred With Special Tribute To Daughter
Rahul and his wife, actress Athiya Shetty, welcomed their daughter on March 24 this year, and the opener said the milestone knock carried a special meaning for him.
“It was for my daughter,” Rahul revealed at stumps when asked about the gesture.
Back at the top of the order after a successful tour of England, Rahul admitted he had felt more nerves in a preparatory game against Australia A than in this series. “I just played a game last week. I was a bit nervous there because I wasn’t on the field for 5-6 weeks. To get back into rhythm, spend time in the middle, and play four-day and five-day cricket was a challenge physically,” he said.
Rahul also noted the testing conditions in Ahmedabad. “The game I played last week was even tougher. It’s been physically challenging, but it was important to get those miles in the legs. That helped me today.”
