A potential injury scare has hit the Indian cricket team ahead of the crucial Border-Gavaskar Trophy against Australia. KL Rahul, a key member of the Indian batting lineup, was struck on the elbow by a rising delivery during a practice session at the WACA Ground in Perth.
The incident occurred on Wednesday, November 21st. Rahul was seen in visible discomfort after being hit and was escorted off the field by the team physio. The extent of the injury is yet to be determined, but it has raised concerns about his availability for the first Test, which is scheduled to begin on November 30th.
Rahul’s potential absence would be a significant blow to India’s batting lineup. He has been in good form recently and was expected to play a crucial role in the series. The Indian team management will be closely monitoring his recovery and making a decision on his participation in the first Test.
If Rahul is ruled out, it could open up opportunities for other players like Shubman Gill or Abhimanyu Easwaran to make their mark in the Test team.
More updates on Rahul’s injury are expected in the coming days.
