KL Rahul suffered injury during LSG vs RCB match
During the match against Royal Challengers Bangalore, KL Rahul suffered a torn tendon in his right leg while chasing a ball in the second over. As a result, he had to be assisted off the field and only made a comeback when the chase of 127 runs became unexpectedly challenging. In a brave attempt to win the game, the 31-year-old came out to bat at No. 11. However, due to his injury he couldn’t run between the wickets forcing No. 9 batsman Amit Mishra to face every ball of the final over.
KL Rahul wrote a lengthy caption on his post and shared his feelings with fans. In one of the paragraphs, he stated, “After careful consideration and consultation with the medical team, it’s been concluded that I’ll be undergoing a surgery on my thigh shortly. My focus will be on my rehabilitation and recovery in the coming weeks. It’s a tough call to make, but I know it’s the right one to ensure a full recovery.”

Following the LSG-CSK game, Rahul underwent scans in Mumbai, and the results have confirmed a significant injury. As a result, he will be ruled out of the ongoing IPL 2023 and is highly unlikely to be a part of the Indian team for the ICC World Test Championship final. The Indian team, captained by Rohit Sharma, currently holds the top spot in the ICC Test rankings and is scheduled to face Australia in the WTC 2023 final at the Oval from June 7 to 11.
In a press release issued on Friday, the LSG franchise confirmed that Rahul would require surgery and anticipated a significant period of recovery and rehabilitation ahead.
