Lucknow Super Giants: Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) skipper K.L Rahul said he, along with his father-in-law, will now be cheering for "Sharma ji ka beta' and his teammates at the upcoming ICC Men's T20 World Cup after their campaign in Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024 was done and dusted on Friday night at Wankhede Stadium.

Speaking to the official broadcaster after LSG defeated Mumbai Indians by 18 runs at the Wankhede Stadium here past midnight on Friday, Rahul said, "I have got my father-in-law's support now and we will both be cheering for Sharmaji ka beta (India captain Rohit Sharma) in the T20 World Cup."

Rahul's answer alluded to the promotional video put out by broadcaster Star Sports about Rahul's father-in-law and famous film actor Suniel Shetty supporting Rohit Sharma, the top star of the local team Mumbai Indians, in IPL. Though Shetty traces his roots to Karnataka from where Rahul also hails, he has lived his life in Mumbai and made a name himself as a popular film star.
