Happy Birthday KL Rahul: Today marks the 33rd birthday of KL Rahul, the outstanding batsman and wicketkeeper for the Indian cricket team. Born on 18 April 1992 in Mangaluru, Karnataka, Rahul has built a separate character in Indian cricket with his talent and calm temperament. He consistently avoids controversy and creates news with his on-field exploits. Rahul’s outstanding performance in the just finished Champions Trophy was crucial to India’s triumph. Additionally, he has been referred to as the “silent hero” of India’s triumph in this competition.
Since childhood he have wanted to be a player
Since he was little, Rahul has been interested in sports. He looks up to Rahul Dravid in cricket, and he admires England’s great football player David Beckham in terms of style. Perhaps he has as many tattoos on his body as Beckham because he likes to look fashionable. At the age of 15, he developed a passion for tattoos. He concealed the fact that he had his first tattoo from his family. When his mother learned of this, she became quite upset and stopped speaking to Rahul for a while.
