India and Delhi Capitals batter KL Rahul and his wife, actress Athiya Shetty, announced the arrival of their baby girl on Monday. The couple shared the happy news on social media, with Athiya posting a heartfelt message on Instagram that read, "Blessed with a baby girl."

Fans quickly flooded the comment section with well-wishes and warm messages, celebrating the couple's new addition.

While the joyous news was shared, there was some disappointment among Delhi Capitals supporters as KL Rahul was absent from the team’s lineup during their season opener against Lucknow Super Giants at the ACA-VDCA Stadium in Visakhapatnam. Fans had hoped to see the star batter in action.

KL Rahul and Athiya Shetty, who tied the knot in January 2023 in an intimate ceremony at Suniel Shetty's farmhouse in Alibaug, are now embracing parenthood. The couple first met in 2019 through a mutual friend and dated for nearly four years before getting married in a private ceremony with close family and friends.
