Kings XI Punjab (KXIP) player KL Rahul has been in a great form in the 12th edition of Indian Premier League (IPL). But earlier in January, he faced suspension from International cricket due to controversy after his comment on the TV show named Koffee With Karan. He was handed over the suspension by the Committee of Administrators (CoA), but that was lifted later and he returned to cricket for playing the India A games in their series against England Lions.

The Karnataka player is playing for Punjab, which captained by Ravi Ashwin. Meanwhile, the co-owner of the team, Preity Zinta, has praised KL Rahul and expressed that he is ‘sweet’ and respectful towards women. Zinta, however, expressed her happiness that the batsman has returned to form in the shortest format of the game.

“It is so good to see Rahul back in form. He is a very very nice guy. What happened is in the past, I just feel bad the way the whole thing turned out but you live and learn. Actually, he is very sweet and respectful towards women, so I don’t know the way it all came out. As I said, these are teachable moments,” Zinta said to Scroll.

In four matches, Rahul has scored 91 runs at an average of 23.75. His top score so far is unbeaten 71 which came against the Mumbai Indians (MI) at the PCA Stadium in Mohali. Punjab will face Chennai in their next game tomorrow at the MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai.

Preity Zinta, meanwhile also expressed that she has also shared her experience with the players from the Indian film industry.

“Yes, we do have those conversations, we have been there and done that. These are young guys and they will live and learn with time. Unless you make a mistake or falter, you will never learn,” she added.
