The first test match is to be played from 22 to 26 November. But before the start of the series, a bad and disturbing news has come out for the Indian team and fans. Here we are talking about KL Rahul and the news is that KL Rahul got injured during the practice session.

KL Rahul got hurt by a bouncer

Experienced batsman KL Rahul got injured during a practice session in Perth before the start of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy between India and Australia. The Indian team began playing a three-day intra-squad practice match at the WACA ground, where Rahul was hit by a bouncer during the match simulation.

During practice, KL Rahul was hit by a sharp bouncer on his elbow, due to which he felt severe pain. The team physio immediately came and treated Rahul. Despite the injury, Rahul tried to continue the game, but felt uncomfortable and had to leave the field. Before this incident, Rahul was looking in good form and had scored 29 runs. However, due to injury he had to retire hurt and leave the field.

Who will open for India in the first test?

KL Rahul’s injury has now raised questions about the Indian opening pair for the first Test. There is little possibility of Rohit Sharma playing in the first test, hence it was expected that either Rahul or Abhimanyu Easwaran could open along with Yashasvi Jaiswal. In the practice match, Rahul opened with Yashasvi Jaiswal and looked in good form by scoring 29 runs in quick succession, but due to injury he had to retire hurt.
