KL Rahul wants Hardik Pandya's son to emulate his father, become star all-rounder

Team India's man-for-all weather KL Rahul had an interesting and 'early' career advice for star all-rounder Hardik Pandya's newborn and it involved asking his buddy's son to follow the footsteps of his father. Hardik Pandya and his fiance Natasa Stankovic were blessed with a baby boy on July 30. The Mumbai Indians all-rounder shared pictures of his son on social media, announcing his entry into performing duties as a father. Hardik's brother Krunal shared a picture of himself holding the former's newborn and said 'let's talk cricket' in the caption. Replying to this, KL Rahul opined that someone should tell the newborn to become a fast-bowling all-rounder - implying that he should trace his father's footsteps.
