Indian cricketer KL Rahul turned 31 on April 18, 2023, and celebrated his first birthday with his wife Athiya Shetty. Despite being away with the Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) franchise for the ongoing IPL 2023, Rahul marked the occasion with a low-key midnight celebration. Photos of the couple cutting a cake were shared on social media, with the birthday boy sporting a casual striped t-shirt and denim, while Athiya wore a similarly striped jumpsuit.
