The Indian Premier League’s will feature star batter KL Rahul playing for the Lucknow Super Giants. After sustaining a quadriceps strain during the first Test in Hyderabad, Rahul was sidelined for the remaining four Test matches against England.
Rahul travelled to London to get medical counsel regarding his injury, and upon his return to India, he reported it to NCA. Nonetheless, the LSG captain has been cleared to participate in the IPL, according a report published by the news agency PTI.
Rahul, meanwhile, shared a brief video on Instagram of himself batting, practicing outfield, and wicketkeeping at the NCA
However, the source went on to say that Rahul can resume wicketkeeping after a few matches but should avoid it during the first phase of the IPL.
‘The NCA has given him clearance and he will join his mates in Lucknow on Thursday (March 20) before they travel to Jaipur for the opening game against Rajasthan Royals on March 24. It is understood that he has been told to avoid squatting initially and he can don the big gloves in coming days. For first few games, he will only play as pure batter,’ a BCCI source tracking the developments of LSG told PTI on conditions of anonymity.
