Suniel Shetty Cheers As KL Rahul Helps India Level Test Series at The Oval
Bollywood star Suniel Shetty was seen proudly cheering from the stands as his son-in-law, KL Rahul, played a key role in Team India’s thrilling six-run victory over England in the final Test at The Oval on August 4. With this win, India leveled the Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy 2-2, marking a remarkable comeback in the series.
As pacer Mohammed Siraj clinched the final wicket of Gus Atkinson in the 86th over, Shetty erupted with excitement, shouting “Let’s Go!!!” while waving the Indian flag. His reaction, captured by his son Ahan Shetty, quickly went viral on social media, showcasing a proud family moment.
Ahan also expressed his pride in a post: “What a game and what a win! Come on, India!” The victory was especially meaningful for KL Rahul, who bounced back from criticism following a poor tour of Australia. In this series, he silenced critics by scoring two centuries — one each at Headingley and Lord’s — finishing with 532 runs across 10 innings.
Rahul’s performances at the top of the order allowed India’s middle-order batsmen to play freely, and his consistency was crucial to the team’s success. This series was a moment of redemption for Rahul and a proud one for his family, who stood by him through tough times. With this draw, India proved their mettle against England’s aggressive ‘Bazball’ style, earning both admiration and relief from fans across the country.
