Kl Rahul-Athiya Shetty / KL Rahul-Athiya Shetty's house resonated with joy, actress gave birth to a daughter

Kl Rahul-Athiya Shetty: While the start of IPL 2025 brought excitement for cricket lovers, the season started with a priceless gift for Team India's star wicketkeeper-batsman KL Rahul and his wife, Bollywood actress Athiya Shetty. On Monday, March 24, 2025, a little angel was born to Rahul and Athiya. The couple became parents for the first time, and this good news created a wave of excitement among their fans.

Rahul, who was going to be seen in the Delhi Capitals jersey in the IPL this time, returned home just a day before his first match. He had already informed the Delhi Capitals management that Athiya could become a mother anytime. The franchise also understood this special occasion and allowed Rahul to spend time with the family. In his absence, the team played its first match against Lucknow Super Giants on March 24, but this day became more memorable for Rahul than cricket.

Shared happiness on social media

Rahul and Athiya announced the arrival of their daughter through an emotional post on social media. Along with a cute picture in the post, he wrote, "A new chapter in our life has begun." However, the couple has not yet made their daughter's name public. With the post, fans, cricketers and film stars flooded the comments, in which everyone wished the newborn and the new parents a lot.

Balance of cricket and family

KL Rahul has been an important player of the Indian cricket team for the last few years. His brilliant batting and wicketkeeping have made him a fan favorite. On the other hand, Athiya Shetty has made her mark in Bollywood and she is the daughter of veteran actor Sunil Shetty. Rahul and Athiya got married in 2023, and last year she surprised fans by sharing the news of her pregnancy.

Rahul's contribution to Delhi Capitals in IPL 2025 is considered important, but his decision and the support of the franchise at this special moment once again proved that there are many precious moments in life beyond the cricket field. Rahul's fans are now eagerly waiting for him to return to the field soon and celebrate the arrival of his daughter with a great performance.

A new beginning

This little daughter of Rahul and Athiya has become a reason for happiness not only for his family but also for his loved ones. This year has become memorable for this couple associated with the world of cricket and cinema. Now it remains to be seen what kind of magic Rahul shows on the field with this new responsibility. Till then, fans are sending lots of congratulations and love to his family.
