NEW DELHI: Lucknow Super Giants' captain KL Rahul has received the green light from the National Cricket Academy and is all set to take the field for his franchise from the opening IPL game but has been cautioned against taking up wicket-keeping duties in the initial matches.
Rahul had a quadriceps strain during the first Test against England in Hyderabad. Despite initial expectations of him rejoining the team by the third game, the elegant right-hander experienced tightness in his muscles and opted to sit out for the remainder of the matches.
