Lucknow, Oct 28 : One of the aspects which have garnered the attention of Indian fans during the 2023 Men’s ODI World Cup has been the superb wicket-keeping work showcased by KL Rahul, who returned to the game last month following a layoff due to right thigh injury needing surgery.
Rahul also looked forward to his comeback at Lucknow’s Ekana Stadium, the venue where he had suffered a thigh injury during this year’s IPL which is set to host India’s upcoming World Cup clash against England.
India aren’t expected to make too many changes to their lineup for their ICC World Cup match against England in Lucknow with injured all-rounder Hardik Pandya set to miss a second match in a row.
The news of Pandya missing the England game was confirmed by India wicketkeeper-batter KL Rahul on the eve of the Men in Blue’s sixth outing of the ongoing World Cup. Rahul added that Suryakumar Yadav will continue batting in the middle order in his place.
Hardik has also been a very important member of the team and he has been there and he does a very important role for the team,” Rahul said in the pre-match press conference on Saturday.
