Recently, KL Rahul and Athiya Shetty became parents to a baby girl. Because of this, Rahul missed Delhi Capitals’ first match of the season. On March 24, the couple posted a joint message on Instagram announcing the birth of their daughter. They shared a beautiful painting of two swans with a message saying, “Blessed with a baby girl.” 

The baby was born on Monday, March 24, 2025. The post had no caption, just an emoji of a baby with a halo and wings. This is the couple’s first child together.

In the match, Delhi Capitals won the toss and chose to bat first. KL Rahul opened the innings with Jake Fraser-McGurk. After McGurk got out early, Rahul stayed firm at the crease. He got good support from Abishek Porel, who scored 33 runs, and Tristan Stubbs, who added a quick 24 runs. With their help, Delhi Capitals set a solid target of 183 runs.

When CSK came to chase, their top-order batsmen couldn’t perform well. However, Vijay Shankar gave some hope with a fighting 69* (not out), and MS Dhoni stayed unbeaten on 30 runs. But it wasn’t enough, and CSK fell short of the target.
