Indian Cricket Board provides major update on KL Rahul and Athiya Shetty’s wedding
Indian batter KL Rahul will be missing India’s series against Sri Lanka in January as he is set to tie the knot with his long-time girlfriend Athiya Shetty. If reports are to be believed, the duo will be getting married in January and the Indian Cricket Board has approved KL Rahul’s leave for this period.
Sri Lanka will be touring India in January, however, the official schedule is yet to be announced by the board. KL Rahul last featured for India at the 20-20 World Cup 2022. He didn’t enjoy a great outing with the bat, managing only 128 runs in 6 matches at a strike rate of 120.75.
India’s vice-captain was rested for the, recently concluded, tour of New Zealand, where the team played three T20Is and as many as one-day internationals. The 30-year-old batter will be making his return in the upcoming ODI series against Bangladesh, starting on 4th December 2022.
Previously, several reports of the marriage between KL Rahul and Athiya Shetty did the rounds on social media. Athiya’s father and Bollywood actor, Sunil Shetty had earlier stated that the duo was ready to tie the knots but wasn’t able to find a suitable date due to KL Rahul’s hectic schedule.
“I think jaise hi bachhe decide karenge (it will happen as soon as the kids decide). Rahul ke schedules hai. Abhi Asia Cup hai, World Cup hai, South African tour hai, Australia tour hai. Jab bachho ko break milega tab shaadi hogi. Ek din me shaadi nahi ho sakti na? (Rahul has busy schedules, Asia Cup, World Cup, South African tour, Australia tour. The wedding will happen only when the kids get a break. It can’t happen in a day, no)?” Shetty told Instant Bollywood in August 2021.
“Abhi papa chahte hain ki ladki hai toh shaadi ho jaaye, lekin ek baar Rahul ko break mil jaye, bachhe decide karein kab, kyunki… Aap calendar dekhoge toh darr jaoge. Ek din ka do din ka gap hai, aur do din mein shaad nahi ho sakti na. Toh yahi hai, jab waqt milega toh planning jarur hogi (Now papa wants that she is a girl and should get married, but Rahul needs to get a break, the kids will decide when that can happen, because you will be scared if you see Rahul’s calender, there’s only 1-2 day break, a wedding cannot happen in such short time. The wedding will be planned when there’s time),” he concluded.
Meanwhile, team India have arrived in Bangladesh to play three ODIs and two Tests. The likes of Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma and KL Rahul will be making their return in the series.
