KL Rahul has been India’s standout batter in the ongoing BGT 2024-25 series
Although his finger injury may not be severe, India will hope that KL Rahul is fit for the fourth Test in Melbourne. After facing heavy criticism during the home Test series against New Zealand, Rahul has made a strong comeback in Australia, emerging as the team’s top batter so far.
He has scored 235 runs in six innings across three Tests, averaging 47 with two half-centuries. Rahul is also the second-highest run-scorer in the series, trailing only Travis Head, who leads with 409 runs.
Rahul has shown resilience, determination, and dedication in his batting, scoring crucial runs in challenging situations while other Indian batters have struggled. In the drawn third Test at The Gabba, he played a vital role, scoring 84 off 139 balls in India’s first innings.
