I will not see her for one and two months – KL Rahul
Recently, in a conversation on Sony Sports, KL Rahul opened to remember his daughter Iwara on a tour of England. Rahul said that the arrival of the newborn brought great happiness in his life, and left him to join the India Test team in England for the series.
“Yes, this is a great time for my family in my life. I always love children. I always wanted children for a long time. So, me and my family really, really happy. We are in a great place. She is a beautiful little girl. She has brought so much happiness in our life,” Rahul said to Cheteshwar Pujara on Sony Sports.
“I have done a little bit (father duties), but unfortunately, two days after he was born, I had to go to play IPL games. And tried to return for a few days for what I took during the IPL and then ended the IPL. It was really difficult to take that decision, because I did not know that I did not know that I did not know.
