Asia Cup 2023: A stern test awaits K.L Rahul as he returns from injury

The Hindu  

Rahul, after being adjudged player of the match during India’s ODI against Sri Lanka in Kolkata in January, had made a prophetic statement when asked to sum up a turbulent 2022. Having recovered from a quadriceps surgery after hurting his thigh during the IPL in May and the groin niggle he suffered just before the Asia Cup, Rahul is expected to strike a balance for India, starting with the high-intensity clash versus Pakistan on Sunday till the end of the World Cup. Seldom did the stylish batter appear out of touch during his batting drill and had multiple chats with head coach Rahul Dravid during the team’s optional training session. Having lost his place in the Test side and the selection committee starting to favour younger players for T20s, ODI cricket is now Rahul’s primary format. In Rahul’s absence, Ishan played a pivotal role in shaping India’s innings in a rain-marred league clash against Pakistan last weekend in Pallekele.
