India under the captaincy of regular skipper Rohit Sharma are currently in action in the ongoing Asia Cup 2023. They have advanced to the super-4 round of the tournament after a washed-out game and one win in the group stage of the tournament. Meanwhile, the star wicketkeeper-batter KL Rahul has been one of the major concerns of Team India as he missed both matches of the group stage due to recovery issues with his injury.

So, there’s a question among the fans and cricket experts if KL Rahul will be available for Team India to be a part of the playing XI in the super-4 round. Notably, the men in blue will lock horns once again with the arch-rivals Pakistan in the super-4 round of the tournament. Both teams will play this match at the R Premadasa Stadium in Colombo on Sunday, the 10th of September.

Amidst all this, in a good piece of news for Team India and the Indian cricket fans, KL Rahul started the batting practice in the nets on Thursday, just a few days before the high-octane clash between Team India and Babar Azam’s men.

KL Rahul's tough time with the bat for almost a year

KL Rahul is not in action with Team India since he made his last appearance in the Chennai ODI against Australia on the 22nd of March earlier this year. Apart from that, it was also the time when he was going through a lean patch with the bat for a long period of time, including some major international tournaments like T20 World Cup 2022 and Asia Cup 2022.

The Indian selectors were also on the receiving end of criticism and came under the scanner after they picked KL Rahul in Team India’s squad for the upcoming ODI World Cup 2023. Some of the fans and experts questioned why the Indian management is so keen to keep KL Rahul in the squad if he is still half-fit to play on the ground.

Here’s how fans reacted to KL Rahul’s batting practice in the nets:
