Both KL Rahul and Virat Kohli have faced injury concerns recently. KL Rahul recently suffered a blow to his right elbow during a practice match at the WACA Ground in Perth, raising concerns ahead of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy series against Australia, scheduled to begin on November 22, 2024. He left the field for scans after the incident, and updates on the severity of his injury are still awaited.
Virat Kohli recently underwent medical scans for an unspecified injury ahead of the 2024/25 Border-Gavaskar Trophy in Australia. Despite the scans, he was deemed fit and participated in an intra-squad match at the WACA in Perth, scoring 15 runs. However, details about the injury have not been disclosed.
If Virat Kohli and KL Rahul were to be unavailable during the Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2024-25, India has multiple backup options included in their squad and reserves for the series. Easwaran, known for his consistent performances in domestic cricket, offers a solid opening or top-order option, while Sarfaraz Khan provides middle-order depth.
