KL Rahul Bats in Nets at Alur Camp for Asia Cup 2023, Showing No Signs of Discomfort – Report

Team India is putting all it has into getting ready for the much anticipated Asia Cup 2023, which starts on August 30. The campaign for the men in blue will begin on September 2 in Pallekele against their bitter rivals Pakistan. Before departing for Sri Lanka, the unit has convened in Alur for a conditioning camp that consists of a variety of physical drills.

Umran Malik and Yash Dayal are among the 15 prominent bowlers who have been called in to help the Indian batsmen get ready for the competition. One of the main pleasures of the team’s demanding practice session on Friday was seeing return player KL Rahul working out in the nets. After missing a few months due to an injury, the Karnataka batter is now back in the mix. Although he still has a niggle, he is anticipated to be totally fit for the competition.

Rahul started Friday’s practice with conditioning coaches, according to the article. The right-hander enjoyed a lengthy hitting session after warming up and completing his thorough training regimen, and he shown no symptoms of discomfort.

Virat Kohli and Shreyas Iyer were the next pair to practise together, then skipper Rohit Sharma and Shubman Gill. Additionally, it has been revealed that Kohli was extensively attacked in the nets by sinners Sai Kishore and Kuldeep Yadav.

Aim for KL Shreyas and Rahul Iyer

Rahul and Iyer’s comeback is anticipated to strengthen India’s faltering middle order, but the main worry is that they won’t have any game action before the tournament. Even though they’ve participated in match simulations while they’ve been at the National Cricket Academy, they haven’t yet experienced a 50-over contest in real life.

Iyer last participated in an ODI for India against Sri Lanka in January. He was therefore compelled to skip the Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2023 and the following tasks because of a persistent back problem. In contrast, Rahul sustained a thigh injury in Lucknow during an IPL 2023 match against the Royal Challengers Bangalore. His most recent 50-over match came in March versus Australia.
