In the mega auction of IPL 2025, KL Rahul was bought by Delhi Capitals for Rs 14 crore. With this expensive bid, KL Rahul became Delhi Capitals. But after that he asked for one more thing, about which Delhi Capitals co-owner Parth Jindal told after his talk with KL Rahul. Not only this, his father-in-law i.e. Sunil Shetty told that after what KL told him about his future plans, he has become an even bigger fan of his.
What did Sunil Shetty tell about KL Rahul?
Sunil Shetty told that when he was going through a bad time and he was being trolled badly regarding his career, then he had told me – Dad, my bat will speak. Sunil Shetty said that even when KL was just a cricketer, I was his fan. But, after that he has become my son-in-law, my son, now I have become an even bigger fan of his.
What else did KL Rahul ask from Delhi Capitals?
On the other hand, after buying KL Rahul in the mega auction of IPL 2025, Delhi Capitals co-owner Parth Jindal talked to him. Parth Jindal told ESPN Cricinfo that apart from Rs 14 crore, KL Rahul has also asked for respect. He told that Rahul has said that he just wants to play cricket. He just needs love and support from the franchise. He said that he wants respect and hopes that he will get it from Delhi. Rahul is also desperate to play and win IPL for Delhi. He said that neither Delhi Capitals nor I have ever won the IPL, so why not win together.
The bat has started talking!
KL Rahul is currently with Team India in Australia and there he has been seen scoring runs with his bat. Meaning, his bat has started speaking, which he has promised to Sunil Shetty. But the work will remain incomplete unless Rahul writes a new story of records in the times to come with the same talking bat. Don’t return every penny of the Rs 14 crore received from Delhi.
