KL Rahul is on fire, and his father-in-law, Suniel Shetty, can’t stop raving about him. The actor recently praised his son-in-law, saying he’s not just about breaking records, but about playing for the country.
Suniel Shetty told news agency ANI that KL Rahul wants to play for India in all formats, and his goal is to make the team win. He’s not just about personal achievements, but about being a team player.
KL Rahul recently made history by becoming the fastest Indian player to score 8000 runs in T20 cricket. He broke Virat Kohli’s record, but Suniel Shetty says his son-in-law isn’t thrilled about it just because he broke a record.
“What’s important to him is playing well and making the team win,” Suniel Shetty said. “He admires Virat a lot, and they’re very good friends. I don’t think he’d be happy just because he broke his record.”
Suniel Shetty also said that KL Rahul’s focus is on playing for the country, no matter what. “He wants to be part of Team India, whether it’s as number 1, 5, 8, 9, 10, or 11. That’s his biggest achievement,” he added.
KL Rahul and Suniel Shetty’s daughter, Athiya Shetty, got married in 2023 and have a daughter together. The actor has always been supportive of his son-in-law’s career and has often spoken about his pride in KL Rahul’s achievements.
