KL Rahul grinds hard in nets ahead of India comeback

Star Indian player, KL Rahul is resolutely trying to orchestrate a robust resurgence following a thigh injury. He was sighted toiling assiduously in the nets at the hallowed grounds of the National Cricket Academy in Bengaluru.

The aforementioned thigh injury was sustained during an encounter between Lucknow Super Giants and Royal Challengers Bangalore in the 2023 edition of the Indian Premier League on April 1st. Post the incident, Rahul underwent surgical intervention in London and has since been ardently recovering.

With the much-anticipated ODI World Cup coming up, Rahul is sparing no effort in his preparations and can be observed meticulously honing his wicketkeeping and batting prowess in a video shared on Twitter.

The forthcoming tournament, slated to commence on October 5th, will witness the defending champions, England, locking horns with last year's runners-up, New Zealand, in the opening match. Rahul's primary objective is to achieve peak match fitness before the tournament's commencement.

KL Rahul races with time to be back in action

In consonance with his rehabilitation, Rahul has been meticulously refining his batting and wicketkeeping techniques. His unwearied dedication is evident in the video capturing his training at NCA in Bengaluru. He seems wholeheartedly committed to regaining top form before the tournament's inauguration.

Rahul's last appearance for India was in an ODI match against Australia in Chennai. In his absence, Ishan Kishan has admirably excelled as a wicketkeeper batter, scoring three consecutive fifties against West Indies in the recently concluded three-match ODI series, thus becoming the sixth Indian batter to achieve such a feat in the annals of the bilateral series.

As the cricketing world eagerly awaits Rahul's return, the superstar Indian batter is leaving no stone unturned in his quest for excellence. Indian fans will be hoping to see the prime form of KL Rahul in the upcoming World Cup 2023.
