Amid all the backlash faced by the batter on the internet and the Venkatesh Prasad-Aakash Chopra saga, KL Rahul visited a holy place with his wife Athiya Shetty. The batter is in Madhya Pradesh as the next Test between India and Australia will be played in Indore, starting from March 1 onwards.

KL Rahul is facing heavy criticism for his current form and his place is in question as in-form Shubman Gill warms the bench. Fans took the temple visit as the batter praying to god amidst his bad times.

The cricketer has scored 38 runs in three innings in the ongoing Border-Gavaskar Trophy, with his highest score being 20. India won both games and is leading the series 2-0.

Meanwhile, actor Athiya Shetty was last seen in Motichoor Chaknachoor in 2019 and is now seen pursuing her career as a model for designers and magazines. She was last seen posing for Alaya by Stage3’s Spring Summer 23’ collection.
