Ahead of India’s upcoming South Africa tour, KL Rahul took to social media platform Koo to give fans a taste of his preparation. The reckless batter posted a training video, where you could see his wide range of shots demonstrate with great confidence. Due to Rohit Sharma’s absence from the series, more responsibility will come on the 29-year-old and he is also expected to open for Team India. Rohit suffered a left hamstring injury during training in Mumbai and has been replaced by Priyank Panchal in the Test squad.
Here is KL Rahul’s training video:
In India’s most recent test assignment against New Zealand, the stylish right-hander was ruled out due to a muscle strain on his left thigh. Suryakumar Yadav was brought in as his replacement.
Since sustaining the injury, Rahul has been undergoing rehabilitation at the National Cricket Academy (NCA) in Bengaluru.
Rahul was featured in 40 Tests for India, scoring 2,321 runs at an average of 35.16. His highest score in the red ball format is 199, which he registered against England in Chennai in 2016.
