Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) captain KL Rahul was recently in England for thigh surgery. This came after the right-handed batter got injured while fielding against Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) at the Ekana Cricket Stadium in Lucknow on May 1.
Rahul is now spending quality time with his wife, Athiya Shetty, during his recovery period and has shared pictures with his better half post-surgery in the UK.
On Saturday, May 27, several Twitter users shared an Instagram video claiming that the Karnataka batter was allegedly spotted at a strip club, Luxx, in London. However, it can’t be confirmed whether it was Rahul or someone who apparently looked like him.
Fans on Twitter, who believed the above development to be true, trolled Rahul on the micro-blogging site. One user tweeted:
"Sunil Shetty wants to know his location."
Here are some of the other notable Twitter reactions:
