KL Rahul continues to enjoy a golden run both on and off the cricket field. Just days after smashing a stunning century in the second ODI against New Zealand, the Indian wicketkeeper-batter added a fun twist to social media by jumping onto the viral Border 2 trend that has taken Instagram by storm ahead of the film’s much-awaited release.
The viral Border 2 trend explained
A popular trend has been circulating on social media where users post reels with a caption promising to watch Border 2 if a member of the film’s cast comments on their post. The challenge quickly gained momentum after actors associated with the movie, including Varun Dhawan, Suniel Shetty and Sonam Bajwa, began responding to fan reels, sending engagement through the roof and turning the trend into a full-blown promotional frenzy.

Rahul gave the trend a unique spin by sharing a reel featuring clips from his recent batting exploits. The caption read: “If Ahaan Shetty comments on this reel, I will watch Border 2 twice.” The post instantly caught fans’ attention, blending cricket, cinema and humour in classic Rahul style.
The timing made it even more special, coming soon after his sublime ODI hundred that reaffirmed his form and confidence at the international level. It was also a perfect way for the cricketer to show his support to his brother-in-law Ahan Shetty who plays a big role in the movie.
