Mumbai, July 18: The Indian cricket team is facing a setback as KL Rahul, the talented wicket-keeper batsman, continues to struggle with injuries. With the Asia Cup 2023 fast approaching and the World Cup on the horizon, the absence of Rahul raises concerns about India’s chances in these crucial tournaments. According to Cricbuzz’s report, KL Rahul is likely to miss the Asia Cup 2023.
During the IPL 2023, playing for the Lucknow Super Giants, Rahul sustained a thigh injury while fielding against RCB in Lucknow. The injury was severe enough to force him out of the remainder of the tournament. He underwent surgery in London to address the issue and has been undergoing rehabilitation at the National Cricket Academy in Bangalore.
Asia Cup 2023, a hybrid tournament held in Pakistan and Sri Lanka, was expected to mark Rahul’s comeback to international cricket. However, recent reports indicate that his return might be delayed. Despite making progress in his recovery, Rahul is yet to resume batting practice, casting doubt on his availability for the tournament. A final decision will be made closer to the event.
