KL Rahul A BCCI insider began questioning Rahul after his social media pictures showcasing his practice sessions sparked curiosity. A board source accused him of “sending wrong signals” in the wake of his latest injury setback. The discussion has heated up even more since Rahul was forced to miss the third Test against England because of a persistent quadriceps ailment that also kept him out of the second game.
At the National Cricket Academy (NCA) in Bengaluru, the Karnataka batsman will continue his recuperation in the hopes of playing more Tests. Prior to receiving approval from the BCCI’s medical team, the selectors had originally included Rahul and Ravindra Jadeja in the roster. However, there are new concerns about injuries, which make his future uncertain and his return to the starting lineup murky.
“KL Rahul is still not in Rajkot.
The lad from the area, Ravindra Jadeja, has partnered with the group. The BCCI medical team is still unsure if he is match-fit; therefore, it has always been a matter of fitness. Rahul was initially maintained in the provisional squad, but why was he kept there if the BCCI medical team was aware that his quad injury was as serious as it appeared? As reported by NDTV Sports, a senior BCCI source questioned, “Why is the player sending the wrong signals by posting videos of his batting on Instagram stories.”
The third Test against England in Rajkot has been ruled out for KL Rahul, whose availability for the remaining three Tests was contingent upon his level of fitness. Under the guidance of the BCCI Medical Team, Mr. Rahul has attained 90% match fitness and is making good progress, according to a press release from the BCCI.
Padikkal’s laborious efforts on the home circuit pay off.
KL Rahul’s temporary substitute has been named as Karnataka’s potential left-handed batsman, Devdutt Padikkal. The 23-year-old hit 151 in his most recent Ranji Trophy game, and Ajit Agarkar, the head of selection, watched his performance from the stands. This season, he has been playing exceptionally well. He opened the match with a 193 against Punjab and ended it with a 103 against Goa. Along with his achievements in Ranji, he also made three innings for India A in the two unofficial Test matches against the England Lions, scoring 105, 65, and 21.
