After receiving the heartfelt wishes, KL Rahul and Athiya Shetty thanked the entire Delhi Capitals squad for the lovely wishes on their social media accounts.
On Monday, March 24, 2025, KL Rahul and Athiya Shetty joyfully revealed the arrival of their baby girl. The Bollywood actress took to her Instagram account to make the announcement and share the good news with her fans and followers, using a post with an image of two swans and a heartfelt caption that read, “Blessed with a baby girl.” The couple, who got married in January 2023, had initially announced that they were expecting in November 2024.
The birth of his daughter is yet another beautiful moment in what has already been a memorable year for KL Rahul. The star wicketkeeper-batter has been in stellar form, playing a key role in India’s triumphant ICC Champions Trophy campaign earlier this year. Now, with this joyful addition to his life, Rahul is gearing up to rejoin the Delhi Capitals squad for the rest of IPL 2025, carrying with him a renewed sense of energy and motivation.
