As one of the brand ambassadors of Puma, KL Rahul has come up with his collection 1DER, an affordable range of athleisure clothes and footwear. He was in Bengaluru to launch Puma’s biggest store in South India at Orion Mall.

Sports brand PUMA launched its digitally-enabled experiential store at Orion Mall in Bengaluru today. This is PUMA’s largest store in South India. The store launch was attended by KL Rahul, Vice Captain of the Indian cricket team & PUMA athlete, and Bollywood Actor Athiya Shetty.

I spoke to KL Rahul at the store where he came across as an easy going and down to earth person unaffected by his fame. The crowds that thronged outside the store were proof enough of his popularity on the pitch but I found out that he is as genuine and humble off it as well.

The captain of Lucknow Super Giants tells me more about cricket, his IPL journey with a new team, what fashion means to him and his diet.
