BENGALURU: After a five-year hiatus, top-order batter KL Rahul will return to the Ranji Trophy. The Karnataka batter will feature in his team’s crucial last league engagement against table toppers Haryana at the M Chinnaswamy stadium here from January 30.
Rahul was expected to play in Karnataka’s previous contest at the same venue against Punjab last week but missed the tie due to a niggle. The 32-year-old, who has played 30 Ranji Trophy matches including two triumphant finals, is expected to arrive in the city early on Tuesday and hit the ground running.
