Suniel Shetty reacts to KL Rahul's record-breaking IPL century: ‘It’s not about beating Virat Kohli or Rohit Sharma'

Suniel Shetty, who is currently busy with the promotions of Kesari Veer, recently spoke about his son-in-law and cricketer KL Rahul. Rahul became the first player in the history of IPL to hit a century for at least three different franchises, the latest being Delhi Capitals (DC).

The proud father-in-law spoke about the commitment of KL Rahul towards his game and applauded it.

“The only thing I know about KL Rahul is that he wants to play for the country, come what may. He wants to play all formats, whether it’s No. 1, No. 5, No. 8, No. 9, No. 10, or No. 11. He just wants to be a part of Team India, and that’s his biggest high," Suniel said during the promotion of Kesari Veer, which is seen in a video of ANI.

“He admires Virat a lot. They’re very good friends. So, I don’t think he would be happy just because he’s broken Virat Kohli’s record. He’ll be happy because he’s done well. For him, it’s not about beating Virat or Rohit (Rohit Sharma)—it’s about doing well and taking the team home. That’s all that matters,” he added.

KL Rahul scored his 5th IPL century against GT (Gujarat Titans) at Arun Jaitley Stadium on Sunday. However, the 100 came under a losing cause.
