Star India batter KL Rahul is currently running out of the game due to a thigh injury. The batter has ruled himself out of the ongoing Indian Premier League and upcoming World Test Championship after suffering an injury in his hamstrings during RCB vs LSG game at Lucknow. However, he successfully underwent surgery and is now rehabbing in England.

In a recent social media post, Rahul shared images of him roaming the streets of London with clutches in his hands. He can be seen having difficulty holding on to it after the surgery. Notably, Rahul is set to visit National Cricket Academy in Bengaluru for further recovery.

However, while announcing his surgery and pulling out of the World Test Championship, Rahul expressed how difficult it is. He said, “Absolutely gutted that I won’t be at the Oval next month with Team India. I’ll do everything I can to get back in the blue and help my country. That has always been my focus and priority."

"After careful consideration and consultation with the medical team, it’s been concluded that I’ll be undergoing surgery on my thigh shortly. My focus will be on my rehabilitation and recovery in the coming weeks. It’s a tough call to make, but I know it’s the right one to ensure a full recovery,” the 31-year-old had posted on his social media.
