KL Rahul appears to have fully healed from his injury, so he should be healthy and eligible for selection for the Asia Cup, which begins at the end of August. The BCCI is thrilled with Rahul’s rehabilitation and that he would be available for the Men in Blue in the Asia Cup. According to reports in the Times of India.
The wicketkeeper-batter missed the World Test Championship (WTC) final after sustaining a serious thigh injury during the IPL 2023 match against the Royal Challengers Bangalore. Rahul might not be able to recuperate in time for the Asia Cup, according to certain reports.
KL Rahul’s inclusion in the middle order will help India, though, since he has been incredibly reliable for them in ODIs. Rahul’s ability to keep wickets also adds balance to the team. What a source told TOI is as follows:
“Rahul’s growth and rehabilitation have pleased the coaches and doctors at the BCCI’s National Cricket Academy in Bangalore. He will be available for the Asia Cup selection process.”
While KL Rahul may return Shreyas Iyer’s return is still uncertain
In ODIs, KL Rahul and Shreyas Iyer have both been essential components of India’s middle order. Rahul’s speedy recovery would be welcome news for the Men in Blue. But Iyer’s participation in the Asia Cup and perhaps even the World Cup appears in doubt.
After suffering a lower back ailment, the right-hander decided to have surgery. But he isn’t yet said to be doing particularly well. This may help to explain why, during the ODI series against the West Indies. The Indian team management tested players like Sanju Samson, Hardik Pandya, and even Axar Patel at No. 4. Rahul and Iyer should be well and ready to go for the World Cup, according to the hosts.
