Indian cricket player KL Rahul will not be playing in the Lucknow Super Giants match against the Chennai Super Kings on May 3, 2023. This comes after the player sustained a severe hamstring injury during a match against the Royal Challengers Bangalore on May 1. Rahul sustained the injury while attempting to halt a ball and had to leave the field immediately, wincing in acute agony.
Rahul injured
Despite his valiant efforts to continue playing, the player was only able to come out to bat at the fall of the ninth wicket in the same match, which Lucknow Super Giants eventually lost by 18 runs. The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has taken full charge of Rahul’s injury case, and the decision regarding his further participation will be left to the esteemed medical team of the National Cricket Academy (NCA) situated in Bengaluru.
As a contracted player of the Indian team, it is only fitting that the NCA, which is renowned for its exceptional medical expertise and state-of-the-art facilities, take the lead in managing Rahul’s rehabilitation process. The absence of KL Rahul from the LSG lineup is a significant blow for the team, as he is a key player and the captain of the side. Krunal Pandya, who assumed the responsibility of the captain in Rahul’s absence, will be leading the side against the Chennai Super Kings on Wednesday.
Fans praying for speedy recovery
The news of KL Rahul ‘s injury has sent shockwaves through the cricketing fraternity, with fans and experts alike anxiously waiting for updates on his rehabilitation process and the impact it may have on his availability for the crucial WTC final against Australia.
The 31-year-old batsman has been a vital player for the Indian cricket team in recent times, playing a crucial role in their success in both Test and limited-overs cricket. His absence from the LSG team is expected to have a significant impact on their performance in today’s match against CSK, as well as the upcoming games in the IPL 2023 season.
