The elegant right-handed batsman has also voiced his support for Phool Versha, a charitable organization feeding the needy in the time of lockdown.
Rahul has also supported Stray Happy, an organization that feeds stray animals in Bengaluru.
Last one year has been extremely topsy-turvy for Rahul, who was involved in an entertainment chat-show controversy before emerging as one of the crucial players for Team India in the limited-overs circuit. In the last couple of series, Rahul has taken over Rishabh Pant as the numero uno behind the stumps while opening the innings and sometimes even playing in the middle-order.
