KL Rahul, Athiya Shetty announce pregnancy: 'Beautiful blessing coming soon'

“Our beautiful blessing is coming soon. 2025,” the post read.

Rahul married Athiya, daughter of Hindi film superstar Suniel Shetty, in January 2023. The two reportedly met in 2019 through a mutual friend.

Rahul is currently in Australia where he is representing India A against Australia A, as part of the preparations ahead of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy. The star batter is also part of India's senior squad for the five-Test series.

However, Rahul has been struggling with form ever since his return to the Indian Test team, and lost his place in the XI after the first Test against New Zealand last month. Sarfaraz Khan, the Mumbai batter who replaced him, made an instant impact with the bat in the second Test, scoring a brilliant century. India, however, faced a stunning 0-3 clean sweep defeat at the hands of the Kiwis, marking the first time that the side faced a whitewash of such kind at home.
