KL Rahul is back with the Delhi Capitals after a brief absence to welcome his new baby girl. His wife, Athiya Shetty, gave birth to their daughter, and Rahul took some time off to be with his family. He missed the team’s first match against the Lucknow Super Giants, which they won by one wicket.
The Delhi Capitals have a big match coming up on Sunday against the Sunrisers Hyderabad. The game is scheduled to start at 3:30 PM in Visakhapatnam. Rahul has rejoined his team and is ready to play. The franchise announced his return on social media.
Rahul has been playing in the IPL since 2013 and has captained the Punjab Kings and Lucknow Super Giants. He was released by Lucknow before the 2025 IPL season and was bought by the Delhi Capitals for 14 crores. There were rumors that Delhi wanted him to be the captain, but he declined. Axar Patel is currently leading the team, with Faf du Plessis as the vice-captain.
