Cricketer KL Rahul tests covid positive

The right-handed batsman KL Rahul tests covid positive. He was all set to lead India against South Africa in the five-match T20I home series but unfortunately missed out as he had problems with his groin after IPL 2022. KL Rahul headed to Germany last month as he underwent the knife for hernia surgery.

Rahul had sustained the injury on the eve of the first T20I match that India was scheduled to play against the Proteas at Arun Jaitley stadium in Delhi. Rahul’s injury was considered a mild strain initially but before anyone knew it, it soon aggravated into serious wear and tear and Rahul had to miss the entire English tour. Rahul is still recovering and remains doubtful for the West Indies tour which comprises 3 ODIs and 5 T20Is.
