[WATCH] IPL 2025: KL Rahul meets Telangana MLA, clicks pictures with his daughter

KL Rahul, the top batsman and wicketkeeper for the Delhi Capitals, took a break from his training regimen to meet with Telangana MLA Kaushik Reddy and his daughter Shrinika prior to the Delhi Capitals’ matchup with SunRisers Hyderabad in the 2025 Indian Premier League. The two teams will play each other on Monday, May 5 at Hyderabad’s Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium, where the meeting was held.

While interacting with the MLA and his daughter, KL Rahul was observed wearing DC’s training outfit.

Before posing for another picture, the cricket player took a selfie with the father-daughter pair and signed a t-shirt for Shrinika. Later, Kaushik Reddy shared a video of their conversation on social media with the description, “Enjoyed spending time with KL Rahul.” I adored the hue of his clothes. “Perfectly pink,” he wrote.

Had a great time with KL Rahul. I absolutely loved his outfit colour…

Notably, Rahul is currently DC’s leading run-scorer this season with 371 runs from nine innings at an average of 53 and a strike rate of 146.06, including three fifties. In the previous game against Kolkata Knight Riders, he was run out cheaply, scoring just seven. With DC consisting of 12 points from 10 games and eyeing a playoff spot, the responsibility is now on the veteran batter to make his bat do the talking.

Delhi, currently placed fifth on the table, began their season with four straight wins but have had some rough recent weeks, losing three of their last four matches. Their away record, however, has been more decent, winning three out of four. Meanwhile, SRH are struggling in ninth position with just three wins in ten matches. While mathematically still in the race, they are largely playing for pride and to spoil other teams’ chances.
