Rahul to undergo thigh surgery, ruled out of reminder of IPL 2023, WTC finals

NEW DELHI: India opener KL Rahul said he will be undergoing thigh surgery shortly, thus ruling him out of the remainder of IPL 2023 and India’s squad for the World Test Championship final, set to be held next month against Australia in London.

On May 1, Rahul got injured during his team Lucknow Super Giants’ match against Royal Challengers Bangalore, quickly clutching his right thigh and then limping from the field while chasing the ball to stop a boundary in the second over. He came out to bat at number eleven, unable to run and score a run off three balls he faced as Lucknow lost by 18 runs.

“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,” said Rahul in his post on Instagram. IANS
