[WATCH]- KL Rahul Seen Training At MCA Ground Ahead Of ODI Series Against England

Indian cricketer KL Rahul resumed training as he was seen running at the Mumbai Cricket Association (MCA) ground on Friday, January 17. The elegant batter last played during the 2024-25 Border-Gavaskar Trophy (BGT) in Australia.

Rahul had a subdued series, scoring 276 runs across 10 innings at an average of 30.66, with two half-centuries. Australia dominated the series, claiming a 3-1 victory and securing their spot in the World Test Championship (WTC) final, where they will face South Africa.

India’s loss in the series was a double blow, as they failed to qualify for the WTC final for the first time and relinquished the BGT title after a decade. With the upcoming three-match ODI series against England and the 2025 ICC Champions Trophy on the horizon, KL Rahul has begun his training.
