While Rahul did not comment, his wife and actress Athiya Shetty shared a cryptic post to her Instagram stories. She wrote, “The calm after the storm.”
Interestingly, Athiya’s post comes after LSG assistant coach Lance Klusener labelled it a "robust discussion" between "two cricket lovers".
After the conversation between the two became public, reports surfaced about Rahul leaving the franchise next season. Klusener ruled out a possible dispute between the two and claimed that it is not a "big thing" for LSG.
