KL Rahul Has Confirmed That He Will Miss WTC Final Against Australia Because Of His Injured Thigh

KL Rahul has decided not to play in India’s crucial World Test Championship final against Australia on June 7 at The Oval because he will have surgery on his right thigh. On Monday, Rahul, who sustained the injury while fielding in the IPL 2023 match between the Lucknow Super Giants and Royal Challengers Bangalore, posted an emotional and lengthy message on Instagram.

KL Rahul shares an emotional note

“It has been determined, after careful consideration and consultation with the medical team, that I will be undergoing thigh surgery shortly.” My emphasis will be on my restoration and recuperation before very long. “I know it’s the right one to ensure a full recovery, but it’s a difficult decision,” Rahul captioned his post.

“It deeply hurts me as the captain of the team to not be able to be there during this crucial time.” In any case, I’m sure that the young men will adapt to the situation and give their best presentation as usual. Together with all of you, I’ll be watching every game from the sidelines and rooting for them. @lucknowsupergiants.

The Indian team is already without Jasprit Bumrah, Rishabh Pant, and Shreyas Iyer due to injuries, so Rahul’s injury comes at the worst possible time. Not only does Team India, which relied on his experience to strengthen the middle order, suffer from Rahul’s absence, but even LSG, who are now without their captain, will also be affected.
