KL Rahul suffers blow on elbow, management keeps close watch ahead of 1st Test against Australia

Perth, Nov 15: KL Rahul on Friday copped a blow on his right elbow and left the field for scans during India’s match simulation at the WACA ground, raising concern ahead of the first Test against Australia here from November 22.

Rahul made 29 before pacer Prasidh Krishna pinged on his elbow with a climbing delivery, and the batter had to walk off after consulting with team physio.

The 32-year-old is in line to open the innings if skipper Rohit Sharma does not play in the first Test of the five-match Border-Gavaskar Trophy series.

“About Rahul…it’s just happened so will take some time to assess (his elbow),” BCCI sources told PTI.

Rahul is looking for a Test comeback as he was not picked in the starting XI after the Bengaluru match against New Zealand last month.

The Bengaluru man’s last Test hundred was against South Africa at Centurion in December 2023 and since then made just two fifties in nine innings. (PTI)
