Kl Rahul celebrated his 32nd birthday on Friday, April 18. Rahul and his wife Athiy Shetty took the opportunity to also announce the name of their child – Evaarah Vipula Rahul. Delhi Capitals, a once shy character who offered very few words in his failure and success, is now a protector, someone who is directly responsible for life.
Kl Rahul gets a short holiday in the first week Season 2025 Indian Premier League due to the birth of his child. When Rahul returned, he returned with a very different aura than the people connected with him. Long hair, aggressive shots and wild celebrations – KL was another man. Now we do not know if he changed his fatherhood, but Kl Rahul of April 2024 and Kl Rahul of April 2025 – they are not the same people.
And this transformation was needed. In 2024, when IPL saw massive sums over 250 in several peas, Kl Rahul was busy with the defense of his bats. His famous line “Strike Míra is overvalued”, saw him reaching the social media, and finally his way of playing the game was dropped from the Indian World Cup 2024 and later from his franchise, Lucknow Super Giants.
This drop would certainly hurt Kl Rahul. Since one of the appetizers in the Indian team in at least 2 out of 3 game formats – someone who was considered one of the leaders on the national side – wasn’t anywhere at once. And his link? The villain in the World Cup finals 2023, expelled from the T20i, remained a test specialist, someone that India could occupy in all conditions around the world.
A few months later, even that was threatened. A terrible loss of the series at home against New Zealand Kl Rahul will fall from the test side also. This decision from Gautam Gambhira et al. He came under the scanner because people didn’t like Rahul was sacrificed again and again.
But Rahul did not say the word.
Tour of Australia and return
The clock turned in Australia. And it is quite funny that it was against Australia, when the redemption of KL Rahul began. On Indian deplorable tour, Rahul was one of the clear places. He scored 276 runs in 5 tests, although he was moved around the order of the tab according to the team’s requirements.
Rahul carried his form in the trophy of champions also. Usually he was specialist No. 5, he was forced to burn below down the order, but he managed to have a fashion 140 runs out of 5 games and played a major knock during the tournament. Until this time, in interviews Kl Rahul, he sounded a little upset. Like him, he had enough.
“I called in the test matches in Australia and you know how hard it is to face these vans. The coming from there is a little different here, but I don’t complain. This is how I played my game in the last 4-5 years, and I played that I also managed to improve that I helped. I also helped myself to understand my borders last year, ”said the dough during the champion trophy.
“Since 2020 I have been tapped in No. 5. People forget that I have played here. Every time I get in the series, and there is a break from cricket ODI when another series comes, there is a question mark on” where he will play in XI? “Sometimes I sit in the dressing room and think,” What more can I do? ” Wherever I was asked to play, I played and I feel like I did well what Rohit told me, ”Rahul added.
Removal of scars
One of the greatest transformations that Klouul was done at the time was perhaps listening to the feedback given to him. It took time, but Rahul understood that a change was needed. In his first match in IPL 2025, Rahul remained in the fold for only 5 balls, but hit 2 four and 1 six. They weren’t even. They were the right, aggressive shots that sent the spine the opposition.
Rahul’s noble hits were a warning for the rest of the teams of what was supposed to come. Against Chennai, Rahul scored 77, and against RCB hit 93*, two shifts of the highest quality, some of the best launches he made in the IPL. In shifts against Bengaluru, Rahul was rejected by a bat on the ground And he released the roar: That’s my country.
And this is perhaps who Rahul became – a warrior who knew he had enough. The fact that staying in silence and the assembly was no longer the rule of the world. To survive and prosper, not only had to let the bat spoke, but he had to tell the faces of others that it was the one who did it. He was the one who destroyed the opponent’s team.
“I think somewhere on my way in my career I lost fun from hitting the border and six. I wanted to take the game deep, deep, deep, and the approach somehow stuck in my head,” said Rahul in IPL 2025.
“The cricket has changed, and especially the T20 cricket is mainly about hitting the border. The team that hits more boundaries and six, usually wins the game,” Rahul concluded.
Rahul’s launching and evolution as a man were not fascinating. From the shy child to the open man, in just 12 months, he had to rah in the process of choosing his personality many arguments. And to be honest, maybe all of Rahulu likes better. He can not only succeed in the game, but also come to claim his reward.
Rahul’s development, mixed with the form of his teammates, helped to escape the capitals this season to become a favorite place for Play -off for Play -off. If DC could do it, and perhaps, maybe just get your hands on the IPL title, Klouul’s story would show up as one of the most interesting arches they saw in the Indian cricket.
