Indian cricketer KL Rahul and Bollywood actress Athiya Shetty, who tied the knot in an intimate ceremony on January 23, 2023, at Suniel Shetty’s picturesque farmhouse in Khandala, have recently stepped into a new chapter of their lives — parenthood. The couple was blessed with a baby girl on March 24, and they’ve now revealed her name to the world: Evaarah.
Sharing the joyful news on social media, Rahul and Athiya kept it sweet and simple — a heartfelt post with a baby emoji, soon flooded with love and blessings from fans, friends, and fellow celebrities. They later shared a touching family photo on Rahul’s 33rd birthday (April 18), capturing a beautiful moment of the doting parents gazing at their daughter.

KL Rahul, cradling little Evaarah in his arms, looked visibly emotional. The name Evaarah, derived from Sanskrit, means “Gift of God” — a fitting tribute to the joy the newborn has brought into their lives. While his off-field life is filled with happiness, Rahul’s on-field performances in IPL 2025 are equally remarkable.

Rahul’s standout moments include a classy 77-run knock against Chennai Super Kings and a sublime 93* against Royal Challengers Bengaluru — an innings that felt even more special coming in his hometown. That knock not only secured a key win for DC but also pushed him into the Orange Cap race, despite joining the tournament later than most.
Delhi Capitals, powered by Rahul’s form, now sit comfortably at the top of the IPL 2025 points table with five wins in six games, firmly establishing themselves as title contenders.
