KL Rahul played a brilliant innings of 86 runs in the first innings (for India) of the first Test played against England at Hyderabad. Although he missed the century. Previously, Rahul had also done wonders during the South Africa tour. But do you know that some time ago there were rumors about KL Rahul, who is making waves these days, that his career is now over?
If you still don't understand what we are trying to tell you, please tell us in detail. In fact, KL was injured during IPL 2023. Rahul was injured in the match against Royal Challengers Bangalore on Sunday, May 1 (2023) and stayed away from cricket, including IPL, thereafter. Rahul was not in particularly good shape before his injury, after which talk of his retirement and his exclusion from the Indian team gained momentum.
Rahul, who was injured in May, returned to international cricket in September through the 2023 Asia Cup and from then on, he silenced everyone with his brilliant performance. Remember, Rahul 2.0 came into existence after the Asia Cup. First, he scored a goal in the second leg itself, which was played against Pakistan. Even after that, his racket didn't stop.
Rahul has played 24 matches since the 2023 Asia Cup, batting in 22 innings, scoring 1033 runs at an average of 64.56 and a strike rate of 83.71. During this period he scored three centuries and six half-centuries, with his high score being 111* runs.
