KL Rahul suffered a big setback when he was ruled out of the 5- match T20I series between India and South Africa. Rahul was all set to lead the Indian team in his first T20I series in absence of Rohit Sharma. However due to groin injury, Rahul now can’t take part in this T20I series.
It was a golden opportunity for KL Rahul to prove himself as captain. Several cricket fans have doubted his captaincy after India lost by 0-3 in the ODI series in South Africa under him. Since then the Karnataka batsman has faced a lot of criticism for his captaincy.
KL Rahul on instagram posted a video of him hitting the gym sessions with the caption “Setbacks < Comebacks”. Rahul can be seen working extremely hard in the video. He would be eager to make a strong comeback in the Indian team for the last Test against England. He played a vital role in the 2-1 lead of Indian team in the England Test Tour.
