Star India batter KL Rahul was recently captured gearing up for the 17th edition of the Duleep Trophy by putting in some work in the nets. In a clip that has been going viral all over social media, Rahul was seen honing his skills and preparing for the upcoming domestic season.

The star batter was not a part of India’s T20 World Cup-winning squad and had a subpar showing in the recent ODI series against Sri Lanka. He scored 31 runs in the first match, encountered a two-ball duck in the second, and was not picked for the third ODI.

KL Rahul is part of the Shubman Gill-led Team A in the initial rounds of the Duleep Trophy. His performance in the competition will be highly anticipated as well, with India’s Test season on the horizon.
