KL Rahul picked up a hamstring injury while attempting to stop a boundary during the game against Royal Challengers Bangalore
Lucknow: In what would come as a massive setback for Lucknow Super Giants, regular captain KL Rahul is likely to miss the remainder of Indian Premier League 2023. He picked up a hamstring injury while attempting to stop a boundary during the game against Royal Challengers Bangalore on Monday. As per PTI, Rahul is going to Mumbai to get his scans done.
“KL is currently with the team in Lucknow but he is leaving the camp on Thursday after watching the game against CSK on Wednesday. His scans will be done in Mumbai at the BCCI designated medical facility. His case as well as Jaydev’s case will be handled by BCCI,” a senior BCCI source privy to development told PTI on conditions of anonymity.
The source also confirmed that no scans has been done till now.
“When someone sustains an injury like this, there is considerable amount of pain and swelling that is there in and around the area. The swelling takes around 24 to 48 hours to heal and only after that can you perform the scan.
“Since he is an important member of Test team, it would only be prudent that he doesn’t take any further part in IPL,” he further added.
“Once the scans ascertain the degree of injury, the BCCI medical team will decide the course of action,” said the source.
