For the IND vs. ENG 3rd Test, amid injury concerns, KL Rahul starts preparation.
In the middle of the concerns over fitness, KL Rahul has given Indian fans hope by virtually confirming his fitness. The wicketkeeper batter had sustained a quadricep injury in the India vs. England 1st Test in Hyderabad and was therefore ruled out of the second Test.
Although the Indian cricket team lost the first match, he starred with the bat, scoring 108 runs in the match. In his absence, the Indian middle order, with Shreyas Iyer and debutant Rajat Patidar, struggled to make full use of the opportunity.
However, his return to the side for the third Test in Rajkot bodes well for KL Rahul and India. Since making his return to the Indian side in September, Rahul has been on a great run. He had a fantastic time in the ODI World Cup 2023 with the bat and gloves.
The batter replicated that success in South Africa as well, scoring a stunning tonne to help India level the series. He then top-scored in the first Test again as one of the most experienced batters in the Indian lineup.
