It was Ahan Shetty’s birthday on Thursday, December 28th. He’s a talented actor from India. His day was made extra special with a greeting from his brother-in-law, KL Rahul.
Using Instagram, Rahul sent birthday wishes to Ahan. He’s India’s much-loved keeper-batter. Here’s what he penned:
KL Rahul and Ahan Shetty are tight friends. Rahul, in fact, married Ahan’s sister, Athiya, this year! The event took place in January at Suniel Shetty’s Khandala farmhouse.
KL Rahul conquered the Centurion pitch to score his 8th Test ton
In Centurion’s SuperSport Park, the ongoing Test cricket series features India and South Africa. South Africa, as hosts, won the coin toss and opted to field first.
The beginning was disappointing for the Men in Blue. Top-tier players Rohit Sharma, Yashasvi Jaiswal, and Shubman Gill didn’t fetch many runs. Then Virat Kohli and Shreyas Iyer stepped in, notching up a 68-run partnership for the fourth wicket.
But the real star? KL Rahul. This was only his second stint batting at No. 6 in Test matches, yet he displayed incredible resilience under stress, scoring an essential, standout series of runs.
With an impressive display of right-handed batting, he chalked up his eighth Test century. He bagged 101 runs from 137 bowls. By partnering with lower-ranking batters and end-players, he helped India to a respectable 245 run total.
His batting mastery got high applause, even cricket icon Sunil Gavaskar complimented the achievement. He stated that it ranks amongst the top 10 ever Test hundreds by an Indian batter.
Rahul has put up outstanding performances after rejoining the national squad for the 2023 Asia Cup after a lengthy injury layoff.
