KL Rahul, who is currently in England as part of the Indian cricket team squad, met Chelsea footballer N’golo Kante and posted a picture with the FIFA World Cup 2018 winner on social media.
Rahul took to Twitter to share his joy but also revealed that Kante was not ‘really happy’ over the fact that he is not a Chelsea fan. “Swipe left to watch me discuss Cricket and Football with the Champion - @nglkante. We spoke about his World Cup Experience, how he started off and made his way up here. He wasn’t really happy that I ain’t a Chelsea fan though. Really Humble Guy. Respect,” KL Rahul wrote.
KL Rahul has not enjoyed a good run of form in the ongoing Test series between India and England. With scores of 4, 13, 8, 10, 23 and 36, the right-hander will be looking to improve his show on English soil.
India are currently trailing 1-2 in the five-match series and thanks to the win in the third Test encounter at Trent Bridge, they will be quite confident ahead of the fourth game at Southampton.
