Huge blow! KL Rahul deals an injury scare, takes a hit on left arm in Gabba Test vs Hazlewood

KL Rahul continued his journey as an opener after having a successful match in Perth.

In what came as a concerning sight for the Indian cricket team fans, KL Rahul dealt a worrying blow. When the star Indian batter faced his first delivery against Josh Hazlewood, he was hit by a ball with a steep bounce. Hazlewood delivered a sharp delivery that caused an agonising moment for KL Rahul during the ongoing Gabba Test match.

IND vs AUS: What caused KL Rahul a concern?

The ball, pitched on a good length outside off stump, jagged back in sharply with extra bounce, catching Rahul off guard. As he tried to get forward, the ball struck his left wrist with force, causing immediate discomfort. Reacting instinctively to the pain, Rahul flung his bat away and dropped to the ground, clearly in distress.

The physio rushed onto the field to attend to Rahul as the batter remained on the ground, wincing in pain. The ball, fortunately, landed safely on the leg side, avoiding further drama on the field. However, the incident left the spectators and teammates concerned as they watched Rahul struggle to recover from what appeared to be a serious blow. Thankfully, Rahul continued to bat after a couple of minutes of recoil.
