Rahul is expected to spend close to a month in Germany for his treatment before returning home. He will then join the Indian team for the West Indies tour.
“He needs a complete and controlled rehab to recover from the groin injury. It has been hurting him a lot for the last few months. He felt pain during IPL 2022 as well but it wasn’t that serious. Hopefully, he will recover in time for the West Indies tour,” a source close to KL Rahul told InsideSport.IN.
Rahul was an integral part of India’s plans for the tour of England, having built a strong partnership with Rohit Sharma at the top of the order. The duo were India’s best batsmen, and tallied the most runs only behind England’s run-machine Joe Root. A gun player across all formats, the 29-year-old will be a huge miss to India’s chances when they take the field starting July 1.
