After suffering a thigh injury, KL Rahul is working hard to recover fully. The gifted cricketer has been seen working out in the nets at Bengaluru’s National Cricket Academy. In a video shared on social media, KL Rahul can be seen keeping wickets in NCA nets.
On April 1, in the Indian Premier League 2023, Rahul sustained a thigh injury during a competitive game between the Lucknow Super Giants and Royal Challengers Bangalore. The cricketer underwent surgery in London after the tragedy, and he has subsequently been making progress towards recovery.
He missed the World Test Championship Final and the ongoing West Indies tour as well due to his surgery and subsequent recovery and rehab.

Ishan Kishan, however, has excelled as a wicket-keeper in his place. In the recently finished three-match ODI series against the West Indies, he scored three straight fifties, becoming the sixth Indian batter to register fifties in all three games of a bilateral encounter.
