KL Rahul Injury: LSG Skipper Out of IPL 2023
Rahul will head to Mumbai for scans and miss upcoming matches for LSG. His participation in the current IPL season is about to end, and he may not be able to play against Chennai Super Kings on May 3.
“KL is currently with the team in Lucknow but he is leaving the camp on Thursday after watching the game against CSK on Wednesday. His scans will be done in Mumbai at the BCCI designated medical facility. His case as well as Jaydev’s case will be handled by BCCI,” a senior BCCI source privy to the development told PTI on the condition of anonymity.
The source also confirmed that no scans have been done so far.
“When someone sustains an injury like this, there is considerable pain and swelling in and around the area. The swelling takes around 24 to 48 hours to heal. And only after that can you perform the scan. Since he is an important member of the Test team, it would only be prudent that he doesn’t take any further part in IPL,” the source further added.
Severity of Jaydev Unadkat’s Injury
Once the scans ascertain the degree of injury, the BCCI medical team will decide the course of action. It is understood that even in the case of Jaydev Unadkat, things aren’t looking great at the moment.
“Yes, it’s a good thing that Jaydev doesn’t have a dislocation. But the shoulder isn’t in great shape, and he can’t play IPL anymore as far as this season is concerned. Also, we can’t say if he will get fit in time for the WTC final,” the source concluded.
Rahul will now be hoping to make a comeback in the World Test Championship Final 2023. As an important member of the Test team, his fitness will be crucial for India’s campaign in the WTC Final.
