The Indian team is currently playing a five-match Test series against England. So far, four Tests have been played between the two teams in which India is leading 4-1. The players of the Indian team have performed very well in this Test series so far and have played an important role in the victory of their team.

However, before the fifth Test, the Indian team is very worried about the injury of the best wicketkeeper batsman KL Rahul. KL Rahul himself would like that he should recover completely as soon as possible and return to the Indian team soon. According to the report, KL Rahul has left for London to meet a specialist doctor for Quadriceps injury. If Rahul recovers at the right time, then the team management can include him in the team in place of Rajat Patidar in the fifth test.

If KL Rahul is not able to recover at the right time, then only Rajat Patidar can be seen batting in the middle order. Let us tell you, Rajat Patidar has so far failed to perform well in his international Test cricket career. He has scored 63 runs in 6 innings in this series. According to the report of Times of India, the team management does not want to give further opportunities to Rajat Patidar and they believe that the young batsman should play for Madhya Pradesh in the semi-finals of Ranji Trophy starting from March 2.

BCCI source made a big disclosure

According to Times of India, the source said, ‘The team management wants Rajat Patidar to play in the semi-finals of Ranji Trophy and get back in form. But it depends on Rahul’s availability. If Rahul remains unavailable then he may be asked to stay in the team. If Devdutt Padikkal makes his debut in the last test, then the team management will need an additional batsman for Concussion Substitute.

The National Cricket Academy had declared KL Rahul fit but despite that the experienced wicketkeeper batsman was having pain in his quadriceps. This is the reason why KL Rahul has been sent to London.
