Lucknow (Uttar Pradesh) [India], April 22: Cricket meets culture as KL Rahul, star cricketer and key player of the Delhi Capitals, touches down in Lucknow. Ahead of the highly anticipated IPL face-off between Lucknow Super Giants and Delhi Capitals on April 22, KL Rahul has checked into the city’s pride, The Centrum, Lucknow’s first homegrown five-star luxury hotel.
Located in the heart of the city, The Centrum is more than just a five-star hotel. It’s a cultural landmark built on the vision of Sarvesh Goel, a multifaceted personality who is not only a successful entrepreneur but also a passionate sports enthusiast, educator, and Bollywood film producer. Goel is the Chairman of the Mansingh Goel Group and the creative force behind AND Productions, his banner for film production with deep connections in the entertainment world.
KL Rahul’s arrival has created quite the buzz, not only because of his stature as a cricketer but also because of his personal milestones. Recently, he and his wife, Bollywood actress Athiya Shetty, welcomed their first child—a baby girl. The news brought joy to fans across the nation and has further cemented Rahul’s image as a family man, combining elegance on the field with warmth off it.
The cricketer, known for his calm demeanor, sharp technique, and consistent performances across all formats, has played pivotal roles for Team India and in the IPL. Now representing the Delhi Capitals, he continues to be one of the most admired and marketable faces in Indian cricket. His Bollywood ties through his marriage to the daughter of veteran actor Suniel Shetty have only added to his star power, making him a crossover icon in both cricket and entertainment.
The Centrum, where KL Rahul is staying, has become a preferred hub for celebrities, sportspersons, and global dignitaries alike. The hotel has hosted top names during major events like the G20 Summit, ICC Cricket World Cup, and various IPL matches. What sets it apart is its deep connection to Lucknow’s heritage, reflected in every detail, from its architecture to its Nawabi hospitality.
“We are thrilled to host KL Rahul and the Delhi Capitals. For us, it’s not just about offering five-star amenities, but curating a cultural experience rooted in the elegance of Lucknow,” said Sarvesh Goel.
KL Rahul’s stay at The Centrum and his upcoming match against his former team, the Lucknow Super Giants, add a dramatic flair to the IPL narrative. Fans are eager to see how the celebrated batsman performs on a ground where he once led from the front.
As Lucknow readies itself to host one of the most exciting IPL fixtures of the season, The Centrum stands tall, not just as a hotel, but as a symbol of the city’s growing stature in sports, cinema, and hospitality. And at the center of it all, two names shine: KL Rahul, the cricketer turned father and icon, and Sarvesh Goel, the visionary blending entrepreneurship with a passion for culture, sports, and creativity. With The Centrum as the backdrop, this meeting of sportsmanship, cinema, and culture promises to be nothing short of cinematic.
