The super healthy and very talented cricketer KL Rahul has time and again proved his passion for the game as a batsman and often as a wicket-keeper. In his ODI debut against Zimbabwe in 2016, Rahul became the first Indian debutante to hit an ODI century. His talents though are not restricted to the playing field. The young sportsman wears multiple hats. He is the Founder of up and coming streetwear and Athleisure brand Gully Live Fast, and is also the face of many mass, premium and luxury brands.

I like to mix and match and see what looks best. Without experimenting you’ll never know what looks good and what doesn’t. I like to keep it simple and comfortable, yet stylish.
To achieve fitness goals, hard work, focus and dedication are important.
My fashion icon is David Beckham.
My last luxury purchase was the Rolex Daytona watch.
I’m most passionate about my family, cricket and fashion.
My favourite travel destination is London, but I really want to visit Greece at the moment.
My go-to shopping destination has to be London!
Top three stylish pieces of clothing in my collection are hoodies, sweatshirts and suits.
My most treasured possession is a huge collection of my watches and shoes.
My guilty pleasure is Indian sweets during festivals.
A leisure day in my life would be waking up late and having a good breakfast, catching up with friends for rounds of PlayStation games, going out with friends and family for coffee or a nice meal and spending some time with Simba (my pet Chow Chow).
I can’t imagine my life without cricket, and I’m happy to have received the opportunity to represent our country and the immense joy this game gives me.
I’m currently reading a book by Sadguru.
The greatest luxury for me is a happy and calm mind; it doesn’t have to be materialistic. Being able to give myself a comfortable living is luxury too.

Gully Live Fast is a streetwear clothing brand with an international feel, both, in design and in quality. Gully’s designs take inspiration from the global street culture such as skateboarding, graffiti and hip-hop. Currently, we are only available at the multi-designer menswear store Curato in Khar, Mumbai.
For the launch at Curato, I wore our Mars Exploration Crew bomber jacket, inspired by Elon Musk’s endeavour to explore the red planet in the future.
