 Controversie : 

  • When the Indian cricket team was touring the West Indies in July 2016, KL Rahul shared a picture of a beer bottle on Twitter during one of his downtimes. What happened next was that the photograph gained popularity but was disapproved of by several BCCI executives who felt that it would set a poor example for cricket fans. Following the BCCI’s objection, Rahul promptly erased the picture.
  • When he tweeted in February 2017 that Ravichandran Ashwin was following him on Twitter, he got a few answers. One of them, from “Being Chirag Dave,” attracted his attention since it was severe. He received a sarcastic response from Rahul because he couldn’t help it.

KL Rahul's childhood pic with his sister

  • His childhood was spent playing a variety of sports because he has always been a sports enthusiast. His parents always supported him in participating in sports, but with the caveat that if his grades fell, he would have to stop, which he never did throughout his academic career.
  • His father, a major follower of Sunil Gavaskar, called his son Rahul after mispronouncing his son’s name as “Rohan.”
  • When he was younger, he was shy and mischievous.
  • His father used to be the secretary at his school, and he took advantage of it by coloring his hair, wearing casual shoes, and so on.
  • He began his intensive cricket practice at the age of 11 at St. Aloysius College Centenary Grounds in Mangaluru Central and Nehru Maidan. He used to play for the Karnataka Under-14 and Under-16 teams when he was younger than 14

KL Rahul's childhood pic with his coach Samuel Jayaraj

  • His coach advised him that having long hair is something you may have after attaining certain goals in your career. He was just starting out as a professional cricketer.

KL Rahul's long hair

  • Rahul Dravid is his cricketing hero in his eyes.
  • He is one of the most fashionable cricketers in India, and he cites David Beckham as his style icon. At the age of 15, he received his first tattoo, which caused his mother to get so unhappy that she stopped speaking to him for a while.

 

  • He traveled to Bengaluru at the age of 17 to pursue a cricket career and received his training at the Karnataka State Cricket Academy (KSCA). He made his first-class debut the following year for Karnataka in the Ranji Trophy during the 2010–11 season.

  • He frequently tormented Karun Nair, a younger colleague, while they were both competing for Karnataka in first-class cricket.

  • He made a dismal Test debut against Australia in Melbourne, scoring only 3 and 1. He was low on confidence following his debut setback, but he managed to revive his spirits and hit his maiden ton (110 runs) in the next Test match in Sydney.

 

  • He began his cricket career as an orthodox Test batsman but struggled to establish himself in the first two years of the IPL in 2014 and 2015. At the time, his childhood coach, Samuel Jayaraj, focused on his technique and temperament to play aggressive cricket, and he came out all guns blazing in the IPL 2016, scoring 397 runs with a healthy strike rate of 146.

 

  • To motivate himself, he says “I’m the best” to himself every time he goes to the cricket field.

 

  • If he hadn’t been a cricketer, he would have a soldier.

 

  • He is highly spiritual and attends a temple every Thursday.

 

  • On May 16, 2018, he was so disappointed after a close loss to the ‘Mumbai Indians’ that, despite receiving the ‘Player of the Match’ trophy, he donated it to a fan of his at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai.

 

  • In January 2022, he captained India for the first time in the second Test against South Africa.

 

  • He became just the second Indian to lead India before making 50 ODI appearances on January 19, 2022. Mohinder Amarnath did so in 1984, on his 35th outing.
