IPL 2023: 3 players who can replace KL Rahul in LSG's squad
KL Rahul has been ruled out of the remaining games of the cash-rich league due to a thigh injury.
1. Karun Nair
Karun Nair has been a run-bank in the Indian domestic circuit. He has featured in 85 first-class matches and notched up 5922 runs at an average of 48.94. When it comes to the T20 format, the 31-year-old has piled on 2989 runs in 150 games at a strike rate of 131.15.
Karun has also shown his class in the Indian Premier League and took top-quality attacks to the cleaners with his flamboyant stroke play. He has played 76 games in the T20 extravaganza and scored 1496 runs at a strike rate of 127.75, which consists of ten half-centuries.
Given Karun has fared well in the cash-rich league in the past, the team management could be inclined towards drafting him into the side for the ongoing IPL season. Therefore, Nair donning the Lucknow jersey in the 16th IPL edition appears to be on the cards.
