Lucknow Super Giants’ part in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2023 ended prematurely after they lost in the Eliminator. However, skipper KL Rahul was relieved of his duties early due to an injury that interrupted his season midway through. On Saturday, though, KL Rahul was prominently discussed on social media after rumors of him visiting an adult-themed club in the UK went viral.
Athiya Shetty breaks silence amid rumors of KL Rahul visiting club in UK. In a message posted on social media, wife Athiya Shetty criticized people propagating misinformation.
“I usually choose to be silent and not react, but sometimes it’s important to stand up for yourself. Rahul, I, and our friends went out to a regular place, as one does. Stop taking things out of context, and check your facts before reporting. Peace and love,” Athiya wrote in a story on Instagram.
A number of fans claimed on Twitter that Rahul went to a strip club, and hence, trolled the Karnataka-born cricketer.

On the cricketing front, KL Rahul will be out for several months after undergoing thigh surgery following an injury sustained during a league encounter against Royal Challengers Bangalore.
Rahul’s injury has ruled him out of not only the rest of the IPL season but also the ICC World Test Championship final against Australia, which is set to begin on June 6.
Rahul had himself announced that the would not be able to participate in the WTC final. In a post on Instagram, the batter had written:
“Absolutely gutted that I won’t be at the Oval next month with Team India. I’ll do everything I can to get back in the blue and help my country. That has always been my focus and priority.”
“After careful consideration and consultation with the medical team, it’s been concluded that I’ll be undergoing surgery on my thigh shortly. My focus will be on my rehabilitation and recovery in the coming weeks. It’s a tough call to make, but I know it’s the right one to ensure a full recovery,” the post stated.
Rahul would hope to regain full fitness soon as Team India prepares for a challenging year that is to see the Asia Cup as well as the ODI World Cup.
