KL Rahul is the captain of Lucknow Super Giants in IPL
A big update related to Indian wicketkeeper batsman KL Rahul has come out. Rahul will be fully fit before the start of the tournament for Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) in the 2024 Indian Premier League (IPL). The right-handed batsman is currently suffering from a quadriceps injury, due to which he had to miss the last four matches of the ongoing home Test series against England.
KL Rahul was recently ruled out of the fifth and final Test against England as he traveled to England to receive treatment for his injury. The wicketkeeper batsman had to undergo surgery due to an injury in the middle of the 2023 IPL season.
Although Rahul recovered in time for the 2023 Asia Cup and ODI World Cup, his workload was closely monitored. During the South Africa tour, he played as a wicketkeeper-batsman in the Tests for India, while in the home series against England, he got a place as a specialist batsman.
KL Rahul will start his rehab at NCA soon
If some reports are to be believed, Rahul has returned to India and has started his rehab at the National Cricket Academy (NCA), Bangalore. A BCCI source was quoted by Times of India as saying, “He had consulted specialist doctors in London. He returned to India on Sunday and has checked into the BCCI’s National Cricket Academy in Bengaluru for rehab. He should get the return to play certificate from NCA soon. He is eager to prove his worth.”
KL Rahul’s place in the Indian team for the 2024 T20 World Cup depends on several factors. Let us tell you that he has not played a single match since the semi-final match of T20 World Cup 2022, so he will have to work hard to make his place in the team for the upcoming T20 World Cup.
AUS vs IND 2024-25: Umpire Simon Taufel made special comment on KL Rahul’s controversial DRS out in Perth Test
There is a special discussion in the cricket world regarding Rahul’s dismissal. Australia vs India, 1st Test (Image Credit- Twitter X) India is facing Australia in the first match of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy series from November 22 at the Optus Stadium in Perth. In the match, stand-in captain Jasprit Bumrah has won the toss and decided to bat first, which has not proved right for the team. However, there is a lot of discussion in the cricket world about the way experienced batsman KL Rahul was out in the match. After defending a lot of the ball, Rahul was slowly building his innings, but he was unfortunately given out in the 23rd over of the Indian innings. Mitchell Starc came to bowl this over of the Indian innings for Australia and in this over, he bowled the second ball of length to Rahul, which went very close to the bat. During this, other players including the bowler appealed, but the onfield umpire did not give the player out. But during this, captain Pat Cummins took DRS review and the third umpire gave Rahul out. But in UltraEdge it was clearly seen that the ball had hit the pad saved from the bat. On the other hand, now experienced umpire Simon Taufel has reacted to Rahul’s DRS out. Simon Taufel reacts to Rahul’s DRS out Let us tell you that Simon Taufel, while discussing with 7 Cricket about Rahul’s dismissal in the Perth Test, said – We saw in that side on shot that there was a spike on the RTS and the bat was away from the pad, in other words the bat. The lower part did not reach the pad. So rotating it in its natural course, you would have seen the second spike (on the sneako, to indicate the bat hitting the pad) come in more than if it had been rotated all the way. So former cricketer Matthew Hayden, who was commenting during this time, said – We are assuming that (Snikko) could be the outer edge of the bat, but it cannot be so. Well, the umpire’s decision is the final decision, and the player cannot protest against it. Due to this decision of the umpire, Rahul had to return to the pavilion after being out on the score of 26 runs in 74 balls.
