KL Rahul, the captain of the Lucknow Super Giants (LSG), was recently in England for thigh surgery. This happened after the right-handed batsman was hurt while fielding against Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) on May 1 at the Ekana Cricket Stadium in Lucknow.
Rahul is currently spending quality time with his wife, Athiya Shetty, during his recuperation phase and has shared images with his better half post-surgery in the UK.
On Saturday, May 27, numerous Twitter users circulated an Instagram video saying that the Karnataka batter was spotted at the London strip club Luxx. However, it is unknown if it was Rahul or someone who resembled him.

I don't get what's the big deal with KL Rahul being spotted at a strip club.

That's his personal life. He hasn't done anything illegal. Chill out. Let him blow off some steam.#KLRahul
