Athiya Shetty praised husband K L Rahul after his record-breaking knock in the opening Test in Perth.

Rahul played a scintillating knock of 77, with some eye-catching drives and peak Test match batting, before getting out to Mitchell Starc in the first session on Day 3.

Athiya posted an Instagram story, hailing her husband for his fighting knock.

Rahul played one of his most compact defensive innings on the second day but through the course of his innings and stitched a record 201-run first wicket stand with centurion Yashasvi Jaiswal.

Rahul was dismissed after he nicked Starc to wicket-keeper Alex Carey but not before a game-changing contribution.
