Delhi Capitals had an extra reason to celebrate after their nail-biting one-wicket victory over Lucknow Super Giants. While the thrilling win was a highlight, the team also shared an emotional off-field moment. In the dressing room after the match, the players gathered for a lighthearted celebration, dancing and playfully pretending to hold a baby. The special reason behind this gesture was the birth of KL Rahul’s first child. The team shared this touching moment on social media, with the caption, “Our family grows, our joy multiplies.”
KL Rahul, who wasn’t part of the playing XI, had missed Delhi Capitals’ opening match to be with his wife, actress Athiya Shetty, as they welcomed their baby girl. Athiya made the announcement on social media, sharing the joyous news. Rahul was deeply moved by his teammates’ celebration, responding to the video with gratitude: “Lads, this means the world to us, thanks a million.” The post quickly became viral, with fans and fellow cricketers flooding the couple with congratulations.
On the field, Delhi Capitals pulled off a remarkable turnaround. Chasing a target of 210, they were in a dire position at 7 for 3, and later at 113 for 6. However, a standout performance from impact player Ashutosh Sharma, who struck an unbeaten 66 off 31 balls, reignited their hopes. Vipraj Nigam also contributed with a quick 39 off 15 balls, keeping the chase alive. In the final moments, Ashutosh hit a game-changing six off Shahbaz Ahmed, securing the win with three balls to spare and completing a thrilling chase.
