NEW DELHI: In a significant setback to IPL franchise Lucknow Super Giants’ marketing campaign, skipper KL Rahul has been dominated out of the rest of the season with a leg damage, a record in Cricbuzz mentioned.
Rahul, who suffered the damage all over the conflict in opposition to Royal Challengers Bangalore on May 1, could also be more likely to omit taking part in for India within the World Test Championship ultimate in opposition to Australia in June.
The Cricbuzz record mentioned that Rahul is now in Mumbai for scans and the effects will decide his participation within the WTC ultimateto be performed at The Oval from June 7-11.
In the fit in opposition to RCB, Rahul were given injured whilst fielding and limped off the sphere.
Though Rahul did not want a stretcher to move off the sphere, the ones within the know, as in step with the record, don’t seem to be constructive about him making it to the WTC ultimate.
“The nature of Rahul’s injury has only been a matter of speculation since neither the LSG management nor the BCCI has come out with a formal statement. It is being said he could be suffering from a hamstring or hip injury. Just over 10 months ago, Rahul had undergone hernia surgery in Germany and it is understood that all factors are being taken into consideration,” added the record.
Apart from Rahul, left-arm pacer Jaydev Unadkat could also be dominated out of the IPL and his WTC ultimate preparation also are unsure after a freak coaching coincidence forward of Lucknow’s fit in opposition to Bangalore.
Unadkat was once bowling across the wicket within the nets when his left foot were given caught within the orange rope keeping the nets and fell badly on his left elbow. Later, visuals confirmed him with a sling round his left arm and an ice pack over his left shoulder saved continuously by way of a member of the Lucknow clinical workforce.
“The BCCI may name replacement(s) once the clarity is known. But it will be a no-brainer over who could come in place of Rahul. Ishan Kishan was in the Indian team not too long ago and so he could be the second wicketkeeper for the one-off Test,” added the record.
