IPL 2024: KL Rahul Injured? LSG Captain Doubtful To Play Against RCB

Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) began the tournament on a sour note against Rajasthan Royals (RR) but quickly rebounded, clinching a victory against Punjab Kings (PBKS) to kickstart their winning streak in IPL 2024.

Their regular captain, KL Rahul, who took on the wicketkeeping duties in the opening match against Rajasthan Royals, played against Punjab Kings as an impact substitute player. Nicholas Pooran led the team.

Meanwhile, the status of KL Rahul’s availability for the upcoming match against Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) remains uncertain, with reports suggesting he may be sidelined due to ongoing recovery from a niggle.

KL Rahul To Play As An Impact Substitute Against RCB

However, should KL Rahul be fit to play against RCB, there’s a significant likelihood that he will play in the team as an impact substitute player, with vice-captain Nicolas Pooran resuming leadership duties once again.

It’s important to note that KL Rahul entered IPL 2024 after recuperating from a quadriceps injury. Despite medical advice against taking on wicketkeeping duties to prevent further injury, he opted to forego the advice and kept wickets in the opening match against Rajasthan Royals, resulting in his current niggle.
