Months After The Controversy On Koffee With Karan, Cricketer KL Rahul Opens Up About How The Incident Affected Him

Talking to Bombay Times about being on Koffee With Karan the cricketer revealed that he learnt that he needs to be more careful about what you say. He spoke at length about how the incident and the backlash affected him and said, “I was bitter for a bit; it affected and bothered me a lot. I was angry, but I came out of it all as a more accepting person. I understood that certain things are sensitive, and no matter what you do, certain people will find the bad in you. It was important that I spoke about it with those close to me, and I was happy to be in my little bubble — friends and cricket.”

The social media backlash is what essentially led to the controversy and for KL Rahul it meant going back to his own bubble. The cricketer now chooses to remain his own space now and focus more on his profession while being more aware of his surroundings. “I need to focus more on cricket, spend more time in the gym, on the field — practicing and training. It made me more focussed on my profession and what I really need to do. As I told you before, cricket is the only thing I am good at and there’s nothing else I can do to survive, so I need to give it all I have. I am way too into it, I can’t have a plan B now. I am 27 years old,” he added.
