Kl rahul injury

It has been a tough Indian Premier League (IPL) season for KL Rahul. The Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) skipper has not been in the best of form in this year's IPL. He has scored 279 runs across 9 innings so far, a disappointing run by his standards. Before he could script a comeback, the batsman suffered thigh injury against the Royal Challengers Bangalore. Rahul tried to play through the pain coming to bat on the 11th wicket in the second innings, but the injury visibly prevented him from contributing meaningfully.

He is currently in Lucknow where the Giants take on Chennai Super Kings on Wednesday, but he will not be in the squad for the game. Furthermore, the LSG skipper's treatment will be done bythe medical team of the National Cricket Academy (NCA) in Bengaluru, who also come under the BCCI. His scans will reportedly be done in Mumbai at a BCCI designated facility. Considering the World Test Championship final between India and Australia will take place next month, and KL Rahul is contracted with the BCCI, it is natural they will monitor his status as he is a vital member of India's test team.

KL Rahul checks in at NCA for extensive rehabilitation programme Rahul, who captained Lucknow Super Giants, was injured during the IPL and had to pull out of the tournament and the subsequent World Test Championship final after a thigh surgery was advised.

Rahul underwent a successful operation in the United Kingdom and on Tuesday posted pictures of NCA on his social media account with a tweet “home”. Rahul, who bats in the middle-order in ODI cricket and also dons the big gloves, is an important member in the 50-over set-up in the absence of Rishabh Pant, who is also recovering from a horrific car crash in December last year. The 31-year-old has scored 2,642 runs in 47 Tests, 1,986 runs in 54 ODIs and 2,265 runs in 72 T20Is with 14 international hundreds across formats.

As per a report in Cricbuzz, Rahul's further participation in IPL 2023 will be subject to BCCI and the National Cricket Academy's (NCA) discretion given that the injury is serious. Scans are being done as Rahul was in pain and had a swelling and the opening batter is set to miss a few games for the Lucknow side. He is still with the team in Lucknow but will miss the Wednesday (May 3) game against the Chennai Super Kings (CSK) as all-rounder With the World Test Championship (WTC) final scheduled to take place in a month's time, the BCCI and NCA's priority will be to get Rahul fit for the summit clash, who is likely to be the second wicket-keeper in the Indian squad. Every decision on Rahul from now on will be taken under BCCI's supervision, the franchise sources said as per the report. As far as the Super Giants are concerned, it will be a huge blow to their chances given Rahul is not just key at the top with the bat for his side but is also the leader. LSG now have two options to replace Rahul - either bring in Manan Vohra in a straight swap at the top of the order or get Quinton de Kock back in the picture as the opener and play an Indian pace bowler in place of Naveen ul Haq.
