Following her post, several celebs swarmed the comment section with heart and emojis. From Suniel Shetty and Anil Kapoor to Shibani Dandekar Akhtar to Krishna Shroff, everyone was jubilant. A fan wrote, “KL myy man What a emotional picture. Never easy to comeback from a injury. Keep maintain this form we need you in WORLD CUP.” Another one commented, “short of words to express our happiness!.” Someone else said, “KL Rahul is back .” A fan also stated, “KL Rahul is back in a grand style! What a century, he’s here to dominate.❤️.”

While the match started on Sunday, it was pushed to reserve day due to rain, although that had no effect on the Indian batters as Virat Kohli and Rahul resumed from 147/2 after 24.1 overs and stitched together a 150-run partnership. Rahul showed his peak aggression against the Pakistani bowlers as he dispatched the spinners, Shadab Khan and Iftikhar Ahmed all over the park. One of the peak moments of his knock came when the wicketkeeper batter danced down the park and hit Shadab for a massive six that left Kohli and Indian captain Rohit Sharma in disbelief.

Athiya and KL Rahul tied the knot on January 23. The wedding ceremony took place at Suniel Shetty’s farmhouse in Khandala. The couple also organized a grand wedding reception later in Mumbai. As stated in reports, this reception had more than 3000 guests in attendance.
