Intriguing Reason of KL Rahul On Why Wife Athiya Shetty Might 'Kill' Him

The performance of KL Rahul was one of the few positives for India in the first Test against South Africa. The batsman scored a terrific tonne, which was praised by Sunil Gavaskar as one of the top 10 centuries for India in Test cricket. He also had a good outing for India at the ODI World Cup 2023, where he donned the wicketkeeper's gloves as well. KL Rahul recently revealed the support he received from his wife, Athiya Shetty, during his injury and rehabilitation and her little superstition.

KL Rahul said, "She was with me. She's always been with me through everything. She was more frustrated and angrier most days than I was. So, I found myself trying to keep her calm more than anything else. But it's also the first time that she's seen me go through something like this."

He further said, "So, it was tough for both of us, but it also gave us time that we needed together, which was good for us. Things started slowly, and I think I need to go back to the same process again. I feel like the negativity manifested into the injury, and in this phase, I just stayed happy and enjoyed the smaller things in life and enjoyed being at home, being with my wife, and being with my family that helped me recover so much, so much faster, and get back into the game much happier and much more excited to play the sport that's given me so much joy."
