KL Rahul injured himself while fielding during the ongoing IPL 2023 in a game between the Lucknow Super Giants and the Royal Challengers Bangalore. The wicketkeeper-batter then made the official announcement of the extent of his injury and said that he won’t be participating in the remainder of the IPL 2023, and will also be out of the World Test Championship Final that is set to be played next month.

The BCCI has now announced Ishan Kishan as KL Rahul’s replacement in the Indian squad for the marquee tournament which will be played against Australia on June 7 at The Oval.
