MUMBAI: Senior India batsman KL Rahul, who missed the last three Tests against England owing to a quadriceps injury for which he underwent a surgery last year, is on track to be fit for the Indian Premier League, which will kick off on March 22.
Rahul is the captain of the Lucknow SuperGiants, who play their first match in IPL-2024 against the Rajasthan Royals at Jaipur on March 24.
Feeling sore in his right quadriceps, Rahul had travelled to London to get an expert opinion on his injury.
"He had consulted top medical experts in London. He returned to India on Sunday and has checked into the BCCI's National Cricket Academy in Bangalore for rehab. He should get the Return to Play certificate from the NCA soon. He is keen to prove his worth in the IPL as he's in line for selection in India's T20 World Cup team as a 'keeper-bat," a source told TOI.
