Team India batter KL Rahul has been joined by his rumoured girlfriend Athiya Shetty in the four-month-long tour of the UK. Rahul is a part of the Indian squad that will play the ICC World Test Championship final followed by the five-match Test series against England.

Athiya is quite active on social media and often shares interesting posts with her fans. She took to Instagram on Wednesday to post a monochrome picture of her. She can be seen striking a stylish pose for the camera with shades of greenery and barricades in the backdrop.

Her followers were quick to notice that the background resembles the one seen in cricketer KL Rahul’s photograph that he uploaded on Sunday. This sparked further rumours of their affair and netizens managed to find out that the duo is spending quality time together in the UK.

Athiya’s fans took to the comments sections and started asking her if she was with Rahul in England. One follower pointed out her clever strategy of uploading a black-and-white image so that people could not identify the background.

Earlier, KL Rahul had shared a click with the same barricades in the background where he could be seen sitting on a terrace and enjoying coffee.
