KL Rahul ruled out of the IPL 2023 and is questionable for the WTC final. Once the scan results are in, the BCCI will make a final decision.
On May 1, Star India batter KL Rahul injured while fielding in a match against Royal Challengers Bangalore. The 31-year-old was rushing to preserve a boundary when he injured his right leg. Which might keep him out for an extended period of time.
Despite the fact that neither the LSG management nor the BCCI have announced it. It is widely assume that the stumper-batter will not play in IPL 2023 and has a very little chance of making the World Test Championship final against Australia at The Oval on June 7.

The results of his scans will provide a clearer picture of his injury. After which the BCCI will make a decision.
According to reports, the Lucknow Super Giants captain is currently in Mumbai for scans, after which BCCI officials and NCA physicians will make a decision on his future.
According to reports, the Mangalore-born cricketer may have a hamstring or hip issue. Notably, Rahul underwent sports hernia surgery in Germany ten months ago, and thus all factors consider before he returns. If he is rule out of the WTC final, Ishan Kishan will most likely replace him on the Indian squad.
The 24-year-old wicketkeeper-batter was a member of India’s Border-Gavaskar Trophy squad but has been sidelined as the country prepares to defend its World Test Championship in 2021-23. With few options, Kishan is the favorite to travel to England and serve as KS Bharat’s backup if Rahul fails to recover in time.
The injury to Jaydev Unadkat, on the other hand, is a source of concern for the Indian management. The left-handed pacer injured his shoulder during practice and is now out of the cash-rich league’s 16th season. As a result, there are considerable doubts about Unadkat’s ability to recover in time to go with the group to the WTC final.
Meanwhile, it has been confirmed that the Indian team members who will not qualify for the IPL playoffs will depart for London immediately following the conclusion of the league stage of the IPL on May 21.
