Lucknow Super Giants’ captain KL Rahul has suffered a major setback as he sustained a lower thigh and hip injury during the Indian Premier League (IPL) game against Royal Challengers Bangalore. As a result, he has been ruled out of the entire IPL season, and his participation in the upcoming World Test Championship (WTC) finals against Australia is also uncertain.
KL Rahul’s absence is a big blow to the Indian team as he has been a vital cog in their batting line-up in recent times. He has been in great form and has been scoring consistently across all formats of the game. His injury has opened up the door for a few other talented batsmen who could potentially replace him in the Indian team for the WTC finals.
The first player who could replace KL Rahul is Suryakumar Yadav. He has been in excellent form in the IPL and has been consistently scoring runs for Mumbai Indians. He has a good technique and is capable of playing long innings. He has also been in the reckoning for the Indian team for some time now, and his inclusion in the squad would not be a surprise.
The second player who could replace KL Rahul is Ruturaj Gaikwad. He has been one of the most promising young talents in Indian cricket and has been in great form in domestic cricket. He has a sound technique and is a stroke-maker. He could be a good addition to the Indian team’s middle-order.
The third player who could replace KL Rahul is Sarfaraz Khan. He has been one of the most consistent performers in domestic cricket and has been scoring heavily in the recent past. He has a good technique and can play both attacking and defensive shots with ease. He could be a valuable addition to the Indian team’s middle-order.
The fourth player who could replace KL Rahul is Ishan Kishan. He has been one of the most exciting young talents in Indian cricket and has been in great form in the IPL. He is a natural stroke-maker and can score runs quickly. He has also been in the reckoning for the Indian team for some time now, and his inclusion in the squad would not be a surprise.
