The most prized source of current entertainment is the ongoing IPL which has kept cricket fans glued to the screens. Yesterday’s match was between Rajasthan Royals and Lucknow SuperGiants at the Wankhede Stadium, and the high–voltage match was quite competitive. 

Amongst the large crowd of cricket fanatics were Bollywood actress Athiya Shetty and her parents who were in the box cheering for her beau KL Rahul, who is also the LSG captain.

As his ladylove and family cheered him on, it turned out to be a dud show for KL Rahul who ended up having a horrible outing. 

For the second time this season, his batting order was quite out of place as he was stumped by Royal Rajasthan bowler Trent Boult and ended his game on a duck. 

While people on Twitter turned this moment into a meme for their own entertainment, an interesting spin given to the meme was that it happened in the presence of Suniel Shetty, aka his girlfriends’ father.

Some fans made jokes about him facing pressure from his ‘sasur ji’ and more jokes were made about the game in this context.

Well, jokes apart, here’s hoping the next game proves to be a good win for KL Rahul and his team, whether his ‘sasur ji’ is in the stands or not.
