India’s thrilling six-run victory over England at The Oval didn’t just send cricket fans into a frenzy—it also turned Bollywood star Suniel Shetty into the most relatable fan in the world. The actor, who is also KL Rahul’s father-in-law, was spotted celebrating like never before as India pulled off one of their greatest overseas Test wins to level the series 2-2.
Suniel Shetty attended the match with his son Ahaan Shetty, and the pair were seated among a sea of Indian supporters on the final day. As soon as Mohammed Siraj took the final wicket to seal the win, Ahaan captured a video that quickly went viral:
- Suniel jumping to his feet
- Waving the Indian flag high
- Shouting at the top of his voice in pure, unfiltered joy
The actor, usually known for his composed personality, completely lost himself in the moment. Ahaan shared the video on Instagram with the caption:
“What a game and what a win!” Ahaan wrote on Instagram, perfectly summing up the mood.
Bollywood Joins the Party
It wasn’t just Suniel. Social media was buzzing as Bollywood stars joined in:
- Athiya Shetty (KL Rahul’s wife) called the win “Unreal!!!”
- Anil Kapoor hailed the team for “playing like legends.”
- Kareena Kapoor Khan kept it short and powerful: “Jai Hind!”
For once, film stars and cricket fans were celebrating the same script—a thriller with a perfect ending.
This emotional high wasn’t just about a win—it was about how India pulled it off. Chasing 374, England were cruising at 301/3 with Joe Root and Harry Brook dominating. The hosts looked certain to clinch the series 3-1.
But India’s bowlers turned the game on its head:
- Mohammed Siraj produced a stunning five-wicket haul.
- Prasidh Krishna delivered key breakthroughs with four wickets of his own.
In a breathtaking collapse, England were bowled out for 367, handing India their narrowest-ever overseas Test victory and ensuring the five-match series ended 2-2.
Suniel Shetty’s emotional explosion symbolized what this win meant for millions of fans. His reaction wasn’t scripted, rehearsed, or polished—it was raw passion. For a moment, the Bollywood star wasn’t an actor; he was just another Indian fan living through one of cricket’s most unforgettable finishes.
And for KL Rahul’s father-in-law, it was also personal. While Rahul didn’t play a major role in this Test, the family connection made the moment even more special and he celebrate watch:
This Oval victory wasn’t just about leveling the series. It was a reminder of India’s never-say-die attitude—a theme echoed by head coach Gautam Gambhir’s viral message: “We’ll never surrender!”
And thanks to Suniel Shetty’s heartfelt reaction, the celebrations off the field became just as iconic as the heroics on it.
In short: India gave fans a cricketing classic at The Oval, and Suniel Shetty gave us the perfect face of that joy—a reminder that when the nation wins, we all celebrate together.
