Mumbai: Lucknow Supergiants skipper KL Rahul, who was injured during the 16th season of IPL, has undergone a successful surgery. Rahul was injured in his right leg. Rahul took to social media to thank the doctors and other medical staff members for the successful operation. It was earlier confirmed that due to the injury, Rahul will miss the remaining matches of the IPL and the World Test Championship final once morest Australia at The Oval from June 7.
It is now unclear when KL Rahul will be able to return to competitive cricket following the surgery. Rahul’s goal is to prepare for the ODI World Cup, which will be held in October. After the surgery, Rahul will continue his treatment and training at the National Cricket Academy in Bengaluru. Rahul injured his leg badly while fielding in the match once morest Royal Challengers Bangalore in IPL. Later, the player who left the field came back to bat as the last one, but his lame batting brought tears to everyone’s eyes.
Injuries have been following KL Rahul for the past year. In June 2022, he missed the five-match ODI series once morest South Africa due to injury. After this, he played in Asia Cup and T20 World Cup but failed to score big. He also lost the vice-captaincy of the team. In the 16th season of the IPL, Rahul’s poor strike rate came under heavy criticism. If Rahul returns to the ODI World Cup squad, it will be a relief for the team. Rahul bats at number 5 at an average of 45 and a strike rate of 90. Rahul also has a chance to play in the Asia Cup before the World Cup if he recovers quickly from the injury.
