ENG vs IND 2021: Athiya Shetty Reacts To KL Rahul’s Unbeaten Century At Lord’s

KL Rahul

KL Rahul’s rumoured girlfriend KL Rahul shared a heartfelt message after the Team India opener brought his first Test century at Lord’s on day 1 of the 2nd Test against England at Lord’s in London. Banking on Rahul’s brilliant show with the bat, India finished the opening day at 276/3 to be in the driver’s seat.

Coming into the team on the back of two injuries, KL Rahul made the spot his own with two back-to-back high-class knocks in Nottingham and London. While he missed his century by a whisker at Trent Bridge, Rahul converted the start at Lord’s to take his name to the honours board.

He and Rohit Sharma once again got India off to a steady start adding 126 runs for the first wicket. Rohit missed his century by 16 runs while Virat Kohli once again failed to convert the start after scoring 42 runs. Except for these two occasions, the entire day belonged to KL Rahul, who played some majestic shots to reach the three-figure mark.

Meanwhile, Rahul’s rumoured girlfriend Athiya Shetty, who is accompanying him on the tour, took to her Instagram story to celebrate her partner’s success. She shared a clip of Rahul from the match alongside raising hands and red heart emojis.

This is the best I have seen KL Rahul bat: Rohit Sharma

Team India opener Rohit Sharma, who saw KL Rahul bat from the other end, showered praise on Rahul. Speaking at the press conference, Rohit stated that this is the best he has seen Rahul bat.

‘This is probably the best that I have seen KL Rahul bat. I thought he was very much in control from Ball 1. Till we finished the day today, he looked very much in control. At no point, it looked like he was confused or thinking too much, he was very clear about his plans.

“When you are clear with your plans, when you trust your plans, it definitely works. I thought today was his day and I thought he really made it count,” he added.
