KL Rahul, Shreyas Iyer indulge in interesting conversation over watches, fashion, dance moves

Apart from cricket, Rahul and Iyer share a fascination for fashion. “We definitely chat a lot about watches; there are a few watch-crazy people in our team, KL is one of them. We love dressing well,” Iyer said. Rahul dug a little deeper into how he fashions his wardrobe.

“We do share quite similar styles. My love for streetwear and athlete gear is quite evident,” Rahul said while speaking during Clubhouse session, as quoted by Red Bull content pool.

I have always had a keen interest in fashion: KL Rahul

“Shreyas likes more color than I do. I have always had a keen interest in fashion. I love exploring my creative side. The thing with streetwear is you can make it look cool if you know how to team it up with something. It doesn’t have to be a big brand. If wearing big brands is your style, then I don’t think there is much effort going in.”

Iyer has also drawn in quite a few fans with his dancing reels. Even as the two players bantered over it, Rahul said he was happy to play spectator and wants to keep that skill under wraps, at least for now.

“I do aspire to be the leader and you have got to let the boys do their thing. It takes a little bit more than Red Bull to get me dancing!” he said.

“My favourite was the shuffle video and it went viral!” Iyer revealed. “Fitness is a vital part of my routine. I personally feel dance plays an important part in it! It’s like doing cardio, long cardio I would say. On New Year’s Eve, I danced a lot, for almost five hours! The next day I was admitted to the hospital; I lost seven kgs in five days after that.”

Talking of Iyer and KL, both will be part of new teams in IPL 2022. While KL would be leading the newly-formed Lucknow Super Giants, Iyer would don captain’s hat for the two-time winner, Kolkata Knight Riders.
