KL Rahul Ruled Out IPL 2023: The Indian Premier League franchise Lucknow Super Giants has suffered a significant setback. Lucknow Super Giants captain KL Rahul, who is second in the points table with 10 points, has been ruled out of the tournament due to injury.
Rahul was injured during fielding in the match against Royal Challengers Bangalore. After this, he did not play in the match against Chennai Super Kings. In place of Rahul, the responsibility of captaincy in that match was handled by all-rounder Krunal Pandya.
Now Lucknow Super Giants has issued an official statement regarding Rahul’s injury. The franchisee said that after scanning Rahul’s injury and getting some tests done, it was revealed that he would have to undergo surgery. We will extend full support to Rahul in this challenging time so that he can make a better recovery. We will indeed feel his absence. We want to see KL on the field again soon, and we hope he can do so.
Lucknow’s Team Is Currently In Second Place On The Points Table
Like last season, Lucknow Super Giants have shown a great game this season. The team has won 5 out of 10 matches this season, while they had to face defeat in 4. 1 match was cancelled due to rain. Currently, the team is in second place in the points table with 11 points. Now to reach the playoffs, they will have to show a better game in the remaining 4 league matches.
After KL Rahul’s exclusion from IPL 2023, there is doubt about his playing in the World Test Championship (WTC) final. For Team India, Rahul’s exit in this way is considered a big blow.
