KL Rahul to bat on last day to save India A after retiring hurt against Australia A

In a fresh development, KL Rahul is touted to overcome an injury scare and is likely to turn up on an exciting Day 4 of the second four-day game between India A and Australia A. The star Indian batter was mysteriously retired hurt on Day 3 despite looking in exquisite touch. He made a handsome 74, the most by any Indian in the innings, before he walked out of the ground with physio. It was the major headline on Day 3 as India A eye a huge target of 412 in the fourth innings.

Rahul, who is part of the Indian squad selected for the two Test matches against the West Indies, is playing the second unofficial Test against Australia A to get a much-needed game time. Currently, he isn’t a part of the Indian T20 setup that is emroiled in the Asia Cup 2025 in the UAE. Meanwhile, in Lucknow, an exciting bunch of talent is partaking in this unofficial four-day Test. After registering just 11 in the first innings, Rahul now has an opportunity not only have a hundred for him but also save the match for India A, who need 243 more runs to clinch the match and the series.

For that, Rahul needs to turn up to bat and he is likely to. According to a Times of India journalist, Rahul will bat today and got retired hurt due to a “precautionary measure”.
