LSG vs CSK LIVE: It appears that Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) skipper KL Rahul‘s injury is extremely serious, and the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has seized full control of his situation. Hence, the India opener is ruled out of Chennai Super Kings (CSK) clash today and will most probably miss on rest of Indian Premier League 2023 too. In KL Rahul place, Krunal Pandya will lead LSG in remainder of IPL 2023.
Sending all our good vibes to KL. ✨💙

As per Cricbuzz, KL Rahul continued participation in IPL would be decided by the BCCI, or more appropriately by the medical staff of the National Cricket Academy (NCA) in Bengaluru.

Krunal Pandya to captain LSG for CSK clash
The LSG skipper KL Rahul will not be participating in the game against MS Dhoni-led CSK on Wednesday afternoon, although he is still in Lucknow with the squad.
The team’s captain against CSK will be Krunal Pandya, who took over when Rahul injured his hamstring on Monday night.
What Happened to KL Rahul?
On Monday, KL Rahul hurt his hamstring while attempting to stop a boundary against RCB. LSG physios assisted him in leaving the pitch as serious agony was evident on his face.
He came to bat at No. 11 for LSG, but it was obvious that he was not in the right frame of mind to run for singles. But BCCI has taken over the case with the WTC Final 2023 only a month away. Rahul won’t be participating in any more games for the squad this IPL season even though he is still in Lucknow with the group. KL Rahul will instead report to the NCA this week, according to a Cricbuzz report.
We didn’t win on the night, but one man won hearts everywhere. 💙
