The India vs. Pakistan match has been an exhilarating, although turbulent, experience for the Indian audiences. While the match initially took place on September 10, sudden rain had led to a postponement until today.

3 things you need to know:

  • The cricketer scored 111 runs in his first match after making a comeback.
  • Athiya and KL tied the knot on January 24.

KL Rahul shares his comeback journey

KL Rahul previously said in a BCCI video that he had undergone a challenging surgery. He was absent over the course of four months and ripped his tendon during the Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) vs. Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) match.

In the video, he said, "I tried chasing a ball, but my tendon snapped. I had a full-fledged tear, my tendon ripped apart from my quadriceps. When it happened, my family, franchise and everyone had their fingers crossed hoping it was not something big, but a small strain that could go in two weeks.”
