Watch: 'Won't see her for two months' - KL Rahul gets emotional as he talks about missing daughter Evaarah
KL Rahul with wife Athiya Shetty and daughter Evaarah Vipula Rahul. (Instagram) KL Rahul is part of the Indian cricket team in England for the five-match Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy. He was one of the earliest squad members to touch down in the UK for the series. The toll of a long tour - nearly two months in this case - is felt by everyone. Even more so for KL Rahul who became a father, alongside Athiya Shetty on March 24 this year. While speaking to Cheteshwar Pujara, KL Rahul spoke about his daughter and the challenge of being away from family for this long. "Yeah, it's a great time in my life for my family. I've always loved children. I've always wanted children for a long time. So, made me and my family really really happy. We're in a great place. She's a beautiful little girl. It's brought so much happiness into our lives," said KL Rahul. When asked if KL Rahul did any daddy duties, he said, "I have done a little bit, but unfortunately, two days after she was born, I had to go play the IPL game. And I tried in whatever breaks we got during the IPL to go back for a couple of days and then finish the IPL. "It was really hard to take that decision to come here and play that India A game as well because I had not spent any time with her and I knew when I come here, I won't see her for another two months. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like If A Cat Bites Their Owner Heres What It Really Means Gloriousa Undo So, it's a really really hard decision. "There were some really hard decisions that I've had to make in the last few months. But yeah, I thought that that was the right thing to do for me professionally and my family's been really supportive. My wife was very supportive. "So, I came here. So, I haven't seen her and I just keep seeing her pictures and I'm always on the baby camera. Making sure I don't miss anything or any part of her growth. "So, it's a difficult thing to do when you're traveling and playing and you miss each day. It's not seeing her," he continued. KL Rahul and Athiya Shetty revealed the baby's name - Evaarah Vipula Rahul - on social media on the batter's birthday in April. Explaining the meaning of the name, Athiya wrote that Evaarah comes from Sanskrit, meaning 'gift of God'. Her middle name 'Vipula' was given to honour her maternal grandmother and the last name comes after her father.

Anshul Kamboj's experience will serve him well: Ishant and Bhuvneshwar
Anshul Kamboj's toil in first-class cricket should hold the Haryana seamer in good stead, said senior India pacers Ishant Sharma and Bhuvneshwar Kumar here on Thursday, after the 24-year-old was handed his debut for the fourth Test against England at Manchester. Kamboj, who was a part of the India A squad before the five-Test series began, was called in after fast bowlers Arshdeep Singh and Akash Deep were sidelined from the Manchester Test due to injuries. He will do well since he has done well in First-Class cricket, and anyone who has had a good run in First-Class cricket is bound to do well for the team too, Ishant told PTI Videos on the sidelines of a Pickle Pros event. People say it is easy to take wickets in First-Class cricket, but it is really not, he added. Bhuvneshwar warned Kamboj to not get bogged down under pressure in his maiden game for India. I hope he does well because the debut match is always special and there is pressure on you as well, so I hope he doesn't succumb to the pressure of a debut match, Bhuvneshwar said. If he does well, then it will hold him in good stead, but of course, he is a very good bowler, he did well in domestic cricket and the IPL, so I wish him luck, the ace swing bowler added. Ishant said losing Rishabh Pant for the remainder of the series would be a big blow even as the India vice-captain came out to bat in the first session with a fractured foot. It is a big blow for India if a player like him is out for (up to) six weeks but (if) you see, sports is something where you are replaceable, because a sport always moves on, your team struggles for a little while but the sport goes on, Ishant said. He continued, Earlier it was Sachin Tendulkar, then Virat Kohli, and after that someone else (time) will come so while it is a big setback, injuries are part and parcel of sports." But the silver lining is that it will now give an opportunity to some other player to perform, so now it is all about taking opportunities and grabbing them and doing well for the team. Bhuvneshwar said, It is a big setback with the kind of player (that) he is. He can change the game any time when he is in the team but injury happens, they are unfortunate, but you can't stop them so I wish him a speedy recovery." Ishant, meanwhile, said experience of captaining will make Shubman Gill better and better. He is doing well. He is young and the more Test matches he will get under his belt, the more he will learn about the ins and outs of captaincy, he said. It is a new role and job for him which is not an easy one so everyone should support him. Bhuvneshwar said Mohammed Siraj's bowling workload hasn't been discussed in the media enough but he is a bowling machine for the national side. The onus is on the media to talk about it as well, if you guys talk or write about him, then it will be nice, Bhuvneshwar said. But the kind of performances Siraj has been dishing out for as many years (that) he has been playing for India he is indeed turning out to be a bowling machine for the team so yes I believe he should be appreciated more, he added.

IND vs ENG Test: Anshul Kamboj denies Ben Duckett century for maiden Test wicket
Ben Duckett is dismissed off the bowling of Anshul Kamboj (Photo by) India found a much-needed breakthrough on Day 2 of the fourth Test in Manchester, as debutant Anshul Kamboj picked up his maiden Test wicket, removing England opener Ben Duckett for 94. The 24-year-old pacer from Haryana, who was brought into the squad due to multiple injuries in India's pace unit, made an immediate impact in his first outing at the highest level. Kamboj, on a difficult day for Indian bowlers, dismissed Duckett with a delivery that climbed sharply from a back-of-a-length spot outside off. Duckett, looking to cut, was surprised by the bounce and edged it to substitute wicketkeeper Dhruv Jurel. The dismissal came shortly after Ravindra Jadeja had removed Zak Crawley on 84, shifting momentum in India's favour after a dominant opening stand by England. A visibly charged-up Kamboj let out a roar as he celebrated his first Test scalp. With both openers gone, India suddenly found themselves with an opportunity to apply pressure on the new England batters. Kamboj's inclusion was the result of injuries to Nitish Kumar Reddy, Akash Deep, and Arshdeep Singh. Before this, he had been part of the India A squad against England Lions, where he impressed with his seam bowling in a pace attack that featured Mukesh Kumar and Harshit Rana. Though he was initially overlooked for the Test squad, his consistent domestic performances eventually earned him a well-deserved call-up. Anshul Kamboj Joins India Nets After Nitish's Injury | Debut Incoming at Manchester? The young seamer's debut wicket at Old Trafford is not just a personal milestone, but also a timely breakthrough for India as they look to claw their way back in to the 4th Test and ultimately, level the series.
