KL Rahul Discusses Fatherhood Struggles During Cricket Duty
KL Rahul, a cricket player, shared his feelings about being a new dad while he's away playing.
His daughter was born while he was busy with cricket.
He had to leave her just two days after she was born to play a game.
This meant he couldn't spend much time with her.
He's been using video calls to stay in touch and watch her grow up.
It's been tough for him to balance his job and being a dad.
He says it's hard to miss out on seeing her every day.
He is in the midst of a test series in England and looking forward to reuniting with his family when the series is done.
KL Rahul discussed balancing fatherhood with his cricket career during a broadcast.
His daughter, Evaarah, was born on March 24, coinciding with the IPL 2025.
Rahul returned to the Delhi Capitals two days after Evaarah's birth.
He joined the India 'A' squad and then the England Test series, spending minimal time with his daughter.
