KL Rahul is currently in the National Cricket Academy (NCA), Bengaluru as he is getting rehab sessions to get fit fully. During the IPL 2023, he got injured and as a result, Rahul missed the World Test Championship (WTC) final for Team India against Australia. Then, he had successful surgery and now, is getting ready in order to become fully available for the Men in Blue.
However, reports were there that Rahul can become available for the upcoming Asia Cup. But, now, reports have come out that the batter is most likely to miss the tournament. On 25 June, an image went viral where Rahul was visiting the Sri Kshetra Dharmasthala Manjunatha Swamy temple in Dharmasthala, Karnataka. Seeing that, fans went crazy and shared their views on social media.

KL Rahul got injured while fielding for LSG against RCB
After sustaining the injury, Rahul wrote: “Absolutely gutted that I won’t be at the Oval next month with Team India. I’ll do everything I can to get back in the blue and help my country. That has always been my focus and priority. After careful consideration and consultation with the medical team, it’s been concluded that I’ll be undergoing surgery on my thigh shortly. My focus will be on my rehabilitation and recovery in the coming weeks. It’s a tough call to make, but I know it’s the right one to ensure a full recovery.”
Speaking of the Asia Cup, the tournament is finally going to happen from 31 August to 17 September 2023. The event will take place as per the proposed Hybrid model by the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) and according to that, four matches will be played in Pakistan and nine matches will be played in Sri Lanka. PCB Chairman Najam Sethi resigned from the post and Zaka Ashraf is most likely to be the next Chairman. However, he has also approved that model and now the tournament will proceed as per schedule.
