IND vs ENG Test Series, KL Rahul : Injured in the first match of the 5-match Test series between India and England, KL Rahul may be out of the final Test in Dharamshala. According to reports, KL Rahul has gone to England for treatment of his injury, which makes it difficult for him to play in the fifth and final Test of the series. Let us tell you that Rahul was injured during the Hyderabad Test, after which he did not play in the Visakhapatnam, Rajkot and Ranchi Tests. Now there is suspense over his playing in Dharamshala too.

Sent to London for treatment

According to reports, the team management is considering resting some players for the fifth and final Test starting March 7 in Dharamsala. While KL Rahul was said to be 90 percent fit before the third Test played in Rajkot, he is still not fully fit. The NCA management has reassessed Rahul's injury, after which he has been sent to London for treatment after taking expert opinion. Rahul is under the care of specialists in London.

The surgery was done last year

KL Rahul has a sore right quadriceps, for which he underwent surgery last year. Considering his importance in the team and his dual role for the team BCCI, selectors and team management are not willing to take any risk with him. This is the reason why KL Rahul's availability for the fifth Test match to be played in Dharamsala is not yet clear. Although the good news is that India won the series, the BCCI was thinking that if KL Rahul is fit for the fifth Test, another batsman can be rested.
