‘Don’t think he would be…’: Suniel Shetty opens up about KL Rahul breaking Virat Kohli’s record

Suniel Shetty often expresses admiration for his daughter’s husband, KL Rahul, and always takes note of his successes. Most recently, KL surpassed a T20 cricket record previously held by Virat Kohli. In a recent interview, Suniel spoke about this achievement, emphasizing that KL never aims to outperform Virat but rather strives to contribute positively to the team.

Right now, KL Rahul is participating in the Indian Premier League (IPL) of the year 2025. On May 18th, he smashed a magnificent century for his team Delhi Capitals during their game against the Gujarat Titans. Furthermore, he surpassed Virat Kohli’s record and reached the milestone of 8000 runs in T20 cricket at an unprecedented pace, making him the quickest Indian to achieve this feat.

Suniel Shetty discussed KL Rahul’s significant milestone in a recent chat with ANI. He mentioned that his primary knowledge about KL was his deep-seated desire to represent India on the cricket field. The actor further explained that regardless of whether he was batting at positions 1, 5, 8, 9, 10, or 11, playing for Team India was what truly mattered to KL Rahul.

Suniel Shetty added that KL Rahul deeply respected Virat Kohli and they shared a strong friendship. He suggested that if KL had broken Virat’s record, it wouldn’t have made him particularly happy; instead, he would be content because he played well. In his opinion, KL wasn’t preoccupied with surpassing Virat or Rohit Sharma. Rather, the batsman aimed to aid the team in achieving victory and contributing to its success, which was all that truly mattered to him.

In his professional life, Suniel Shetty remains occupied with numerous projects, yet he is relishing every moment of his personal life as well. The actor from “Main Hoon Na” experienced a significant milestone on March 24, 2025, when his daughter Athiya Shetty and KL Rahul welcomed their first child, a girl named Evaarah, which means ‘Gift of God.’ Suniel has frequently expressed that this new addition to the family brings immense joy into his life.
