On Monday, the Delhi Capitals had a double thrill as they came from behind to overcome the Lucknow Super Giants in their IPL 2025 match at the Dr. YS Rajasekhara Reddy ACA-VDCA Cricket Stadium in Visakhapatnam.
KL Rahul, the Delhi Capitals' most recent high-profile addition, was left out of the starting lineup, which raised eyebrows. However, the explanation became evident when Rahul's wife, actor Athiya Shetty, announced the birth of their newborn girl via social media post.
Rahul had missed Delhi Capitals’ opening game to be with his family for the birth of his child. The couple, who tied the knot in January 2023, had confirmed their pregnancy in November 2024.
Here is the post:
Following their dramatic victory, Delhi Capitals players celebrated in an unusual fashion in their changing room. The group erupted into a dance, jokingly simulating the action of carrying a newborn in their arms while congratulating Rahul.
"Our family extends, our family celebrates"- DC wrote as they shared the celebration video on their social media.
Replying to the video, Rahul expressed his gratitude, saying, "Lads, this means so much to us, thanks a million." DC responded warmly: "We're all so happy for you, KL."
