India's KL Rahul has had a year full of surprises due to some truly out of the box performances (AP News)
In a heartwarming video circulating on social media, Indian cricketer KL Rahul is seen gracefully handling an enthusiastic crowd. Emerging from a restaurant, Rahul greeted fans with genuine warmth, raising his hands in acknowledgment and even pausing for selfies. The footage indicates a particularly warm reception as fans seemed eager to express their love and respect by attempting to touch KL Rahul's feet.
A noteworthy moment in the video captures Rahul's humility, as he resists fans who wanted to touch his feet out of admiration. Demonstrating a down-to-earth demeanor, he politely requests them not to engage in the traditional gesture.

KL Rahul along with hopes of his fans for a T20I comeback ahead of the ICC T20 World Cup 2024 were dashed by the Ajit Agarkar-led selection committee, omitting him from the upcoming series against Afghanistan.
Despite his stellar performance in South Africa, captaining India to an ODI series win and delivering a remarkable Test century in Centurion, the selectors, led by Agarkar, opted to wait until IPL 2024 to evaluate Rahul's claim for a T20I return. With no opening slot available, where Rahul last played during the 2022 T20 World Cup, his future in the T20I squad remains uncertain.
