Recently, KL Rahul became a father. His wife, Bollywood actress Athiya Shetty, gave birth to a baby girl on March 24. Because of this, Rahul was in Mumbai with his wife at that time. Coincidentally, on the same day, Delhi Capitals played their first match of the season against Lucknow Super Giants.

Possible Changes in the Playing XI

In their match against Lucknow, Delhi Capitals’ top order featured Jake Fraser-McGurk, Faf du Plessis, Abhishek Porel, and Sameer Rizvi. If KL Rahul is available for Delhi’s second match, he will likely be included in the top order. Sameer Rizvi could be the player who makes way for Rahul in the playing XI.
