Watch: Suniel Shetty Roars From Stands As KL Rahul, Team India Seal Oval Win
Last Updated: The veteran film actor and the Indian opener's father-in-law couldn't hold back his emotions after watching Team India emerge victorious at The Oval on August 4. Bollywood's veteran actor Sunil Shetty stood out as the most jubilant figure from the stands at The Oval on Monday, August 4, as his son-in-law KL Rahul and Team India defeated England to level the Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy 2-2 after a riveting Test match. Shetty couldn't hold back his excitement and joy for Rahul and the rest of the Indian players after they overcame the hosts in a breathtaking six-run win in the final Test. As the spirited Mohammed Siraj dismissed England's Gus Atkinson in the 86th over of play, cricket fever once again engulfed the nation with the sensational win. At the venue, Shetty stood up and roared from the stands, roaring, 'Let's Go!!!' to join the celebrations for the defining moment it the hard-fought trip. Having earlier waved the Indian flag with pride, Shetty poured his heart out while cheering for Team India from the stands in a beautiful moment recorded by his son and young actor, Ahan Shetty. The amusing clip has since gone viral on social media. The junior Shetty echoed the father's delight, stating in a wonderful caption: '2 incredible days at The Oval! What a game and what a win! Come on, India, always my India!" Both Sunil and Ahan would've felt a sense of great pride about Rahul's resurgence in England. After a difficult tour of Australia last winter, the elegant opener had been under pressure to deliver the goods, with his inconsistency and mid-30s average heavily criticised. Rahul showcased his class amidst such discourse by producing masterful hundreds in Headingley and Lord's, and finished the five-match series with 532 runs in 10 innings. His solidity at the top against the new ball allowed India's free-flowing middle-order batters to play at their preferred tempo. Rahul played his most instrumental role yet in India's drawn series result against the mighty Bazball brigade in their den. It would be a cause of vindication to Rahul's biggest supporters – the team management and selectors, who could always see the value he brought to the table. view comments First Published: Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.

Come on India, always my India!'Meanwhile, Rahul said that the series "will rank right at the top" among the biggest moments of Indian cricket as it was pulled off by a team that "wasn't given a chance" in the absence of giants like Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma."We have seen India lift the World Cup, I mean nothing compares to lifting the World Cup. But so many doubts, so many questions from everybody about whether Test cricket will stay or not. I think both the teams and the way we've played in this series, I think we've answered that question," Rahul said at the post-match press conference."For us as a team, that wasn't given a chance in this series. And for us to fight back and to fight in every game and to get a result which is 2-2 might seem like a drop. But for us and for Indian Test cricket going in the future, I think this will rank right at the top," he said that this is just the beginning and that the team will win many series "outside of India and the whole team deserves it.""For the start of the series, we had Virat Kohli retiring, Rohit Sharma retiring, we had Ashwin retiring. So three big names out of the roster in India's team," he pointed their retirements, it is Rahul himself who is one of the senior players. He did not disappoint and was among India's top performers, scoring 532 runs across the five Tests and forged a fine partnership with the younger Yashasvi Jaiswal at the top."Yeah, I think it hit me when I joined the team. I was here about two weeks earlier playing India A's and it didn't hit me back then. But once I joined the team and I looked around and I didn't have Rohit and Virat and Ashwin who I played all my cricket with..."Just to look around and not see them felt a bit weird. But yeah, that's when it hit me that everyone else is looking at me, coming to me to ask about English conditions, what they need to do, how they need to prepare."Rahul said he relied on his experience to do his bit in not just performing but also steering the younger lot."And that's when it hit me that, okay, I've stepped into a different role now and it's time for me to help the younger guys. Use all the experience I've had of playing Test cricket and international cricket over the years and really put my hand up and stand up for this team."This moment almost feels like this is a young team that's going to stay there for a long time.

Yeh Rishta's Rahul Sharma on the power of long-running TV dramas; says ‘Infinite shows let you prove your worth'
Rahul Sharma , currently seen as Anshuman in Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai, opens up about the changing landscape of Indian television and how the format of a show shapes an actor's journey. 'Limited series may be the future, but infinite shows give you space to prove your talent,' Rahul shares. While acknowledging the growing popularity of short-format content, he feels these shows often don't allow actors the time to shine. 'Limited series are not always given the recognition they deserve. People don't easily notice your talent in short formats because they're not seen as hits unless they run for years.' Rahul believes that infinite shows, despite their challenges, offer greater scope for character development and audience connection. 'With longer-running shows, you have time to explore different shades, build audience attachment, and prove your place in the industry,' he explains. However, he's not dismissive of short-form storytelling. Reflecting on his own experience, Rahul adds, 'I've worked in both, like in Kaal Bhairav. Limited series can be impactful too, especially for thrillers or romance when done in seasons. They're tighter and more focused.' by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Why So Many Texas Drivers Are Switching Insurance After Seeing This Policy Auto Pro Get Quote Undo He also points out the unpredictability of TV today. 'You just can't predict how long a show will run anymore. What starts off as an infinite show might wrap up in a few months,' he says, emphasizing the need for flexibility and strong writing. Despite the rise of OTT, Rahul is confident about television's staying power. 'TV dramas still connect with families. If the story is engaging and relatable, people will watch,' he concludes. His perspective offers a grounded look at the evolving formats while reaffirming faith in the enduring power of television.
