KL Rahul returns to batting in much-needed boost for Team India after Shubman Gill doubtful for Perth Test
Hindustan TimesIn a major boost to Team India ahead of the first Test against Australia in Perth, KL Rahul returned to batting in the nets after an injury scare that forced him to retire hurt during the simulation match against India A. Rahul had copped a blow on his elbow while he was batting on 28 against Prasidh Krishna during the first day of the practice match, and failed to continue his innings. Mumbai: India's KL Rahul during a practice session ahead of their third Test cricket match against New Zealand at Wankhede Stadium Rahul, then, remained absent throughout the second day's play at the WACA in Perth, but made a return to the nets before the third day's play. The development comes a day after India were dealt a another telling blow on Saturday, as star top-order batter Shubman Gill sustained a left thumb fracture which is likely to rule him out of the opening Test of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy. Gill reportedly suffering from fracture Gill, one of the young heroes of India's last Border-Gavaskar Trophy triumph, is a batting mainstay and in case skipper Rohit Sharma opts out of the first Test, India's top-order could look thin.
