After securing a big win for his team, Delhi Capitals, KL Rahul was seen circling his bat on the ground—just like in one of the pivotal scenes from the film, where Rishab Shetty performs the same gesture using a piece of wood.
Not just that, but throughout the match, at various intervals, KL Rahul was seen imitating several gestures made by Rishab Shetty in Kantara, showing just how much he likes the film.
Later, in a video officially shared by his IPL team, KL Rahul addressed why he decided to make such a gesture during the game.
In his words, “This is a special place for me. That celebration was from one of my favourite movies, Kantara. So yeah, just a tiny reminder that this ground, this home, this turf is where I have grown—and this is mine.”
