KL Rahul Reveals Story Behind Daughter Evaarah’s Name
KL Rahul and Athiya Shetty named their baby girl Evaarah, meaning Gift of God. Rahul shared he found the name during a late-night search and won over Athiya after family support. Rahul has scored 381 runs in 11 IPL 2025 matches with a 142 strike rate, while also embracing new fatherhood.
India’s star wicketkeeper-batter KL Rahul recently shared the heartwarming story behind naming his newborn daughter, Evaarah, with his wife Athiya Shetty. Describing her name as meaning “Gift of God”, Rahul revealed that the discovery happened during a late-night search through baby name books and online rabbit holes. Though Athiya wasn’t convinced at first, support from both sets of grandparents helped seal the decision. Now, the couple can’t imagine calling her anything else.
The emotional reveal coincided with Rahul’s birthday, as the couple introduced Evaarah to the world on Instagram, capturing hearts nationwide. The baby’s arrival has not only softened Rahul’s off-field image but also added sentimental charm to his public life. Proud grandfather Suniel Shetty expressed his joy through a touching social media post, calling grandparenthood an unmatched feeling and cherishing the moment his mother held her great-grandchild.
Meanwhile, Rahul’s on-field performance in IPL 2025 is equally impressive. Leading Delhi Capitals, he has scored 381 runs in 11 matches at a strike rate of 142, effectively silencing critics who previously accused him of being overly cautious. With DC currently placed fifth in the IPL points table, Rahul seems to be striking a fine balance between family bliss and cricketing success.
