KL Rahul - Subtle And Sexy
Exhibit|November 2019
The monsoons may still not have said goodbye, but the rain gods decided to give us a break this particular day.
KL Rahul - Subtle And Sexy

Our November coverstar entered the room right on time with an extremely friendly vibe as he individually acknowledged the entire team. It’s the little things that tell you more about a person than any 20 minute chat can, and in that moment I saw a humble and genuine man behind the facade of a celebrity sportsman.

The edgy shoot embodied the play of lights that in contrast brought out the tranquility in the aura that KL Rahul walks around with. He sat down to have a fun and candid conversation with Smriti Raizada under the neon lights, with a smile on his face that gave away the subtlety that is his essence of being.

EX: Hi Rahul! It’s been quite a ride since your debut in 2014. Who was the one person friend or family - that really pushed you to become the cricketer you are today?

It's always been my father. The family support I’ve had has always been a huge part of my success. There's a sense of normality at home, you know? My parents and my family always saw me as a normal boy. It didn't matter to them whether I played for India or state cricket, if I did well or I didn't do well; they always made me feel normal which was great and exactly what I needed. So, I learned to handle success and failure equally, respect both of them, always look forward to getting better as a person and just being grateful for the opportunities I've gotten in life. Through it all, my family support has been the biggest.

EX: First centuries are always special and you scored yours very early in your career. What was going on in your head before and after you scored your first 100?
