Former India captain Virat Kohli dropped a comment on the couple’s Instagram post and wrote, “Congratulations”.
Veteran cricketer Suresh Raina also left a message for the newly weds and wrote,” Congratulations bro! May God bless both of you.”
Flamboyant all-rounder Hardik Pandya, leg-spinner Yuzvendra Chahal, and pacer Mohammed Shami were among others who also congratulated Rahul and Athiya.
Rahul has been rested for the ongoing New Zealand ODIs due to family commitments. After the ceremony concluded, Suniel and his son Ahan Shetty came out of the venue, greeted the media and distributed sweets to the media personnel stationed outside the venue.
Recently, Rahul played a key role in India beating Sri Lanka in the second ODI from a tricky situation. Chasing 216, India were left reeling at 47/3, but the Karnataka batter hung on and accounted for 64 unbeaten runs to seal the series win for the hosts.
Rahul will return to the Indian team soon for the Border-Gavaskar Trophy against Australia next month. Rahul will act as Rohit Sharma’s deputy as the BCCI has announced the squad for the first two-match of the series.
The first match of the series will be played in Nagpur on February 9, while Arun Jaitley Stadium in New Delhi will host the second Test match of the series.
