‘Gambhir ne ishara diya hoga bahar hone ka’ – Fans react to KL Rahul leaving the field injured early against RCB in IPL 2023
In the previous competitive encounter between Lucknow Super Giants and Royal Challengers Bangalore which took place on April 10 in the M Chinnaswamy Stadium, Lucknow was successful in chasing down 213 on the final ball of a high-scoring game.
Lucknow defeated Punjab Kings by 56 runs in Mohali before the game on Monday at their home field. Bangalore, on the other hand, enters their first of its five straight away games after suffering a 21-run home loss to Kolkata Knight Riders.
At the Bharat Ratna Shri Atal Bihari Vajpayee Ekana Cricket Stadium, Faf du Plessis, the Royal Challengers Bangalore team captain, once again, won the toss and decided to bat first against the Lucknow Super Giants in Match No. 43 of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2023.
Upon earning the decision to bat, du Plessis announced that Shahbaz Ahmed would be replaced in the playing 11 by uncapped Indian wicketkeeper-batsman Anuj Rawat and that Australia’s quick bowler Josh Hazlewood would take the place of David Willey, who is currently out of the match due to injury. Off-spinner K. Gowtham replaces fast bowler Avesh Khan in the playing eleven.
What happened to KL Rahul during the first over of the game?
KL Rahul, the captain of the Lucknow Super Giants, suffered an injury during the ongoing match versus Royal Challengers Bangalore at Ekana Stadium in Lucknow. As Lucknow’s captain fielded the last delivery of the first over on the boundary to save the boundary, the skipper slipped and it appeared that KL had a hammy.
The physiotherapist went outside to take a look and, later, the stretcher was brought out, and a few team members assisted KL in standing up. The proprietor of Lucknow Super Giants looked anxious as the Lucknow captain walked off the field. Mark Howard announced on-air that Krunal Pandya will lead the side in KL Rahul’s absence.
