For the uninitiated, Rahul suffered a blow to his hamstring during RCB’s innings. The LSG skipper went off the field immediately and only returned to bat after the fall of the ninth wicket. Rahul could barely run, and a verdict on the batter would be known after the initial scans.
KL Rahul Injury: KL Rahul set to miss few games, Krunal Pandya to lead LSG for a few games
Rahul’s injury is a massive blow for LSG, as the right-hand batter was doing a fine job as the leader and opening batter of the side. LSG will be playing their next game against CSK on May 3, and Rahul is likely to miss the mega clash. Krunal Pandya will lead LSG for few games. Not only in IPL, but Rahul’s hamstring blow could prove to be a huge dampener in WTC final against Australia.
The right-hand batter is selected in the 15-member squad and is also tipped to slot in the middle order and keep wickets after KS Bharat’s dismal outing with bat and behind the stumps during the Border Gavaskar Trophy. However, those plans have been put to rest for the time being as the latest injury to Rahul seems a bit serious. An official announcement by LSG will soon be out regarding Rahul’s injury status.
