KL Rahul’s Elbow Injury: Earlier, KL Rahul was injured. During Friday’s practice match, Rahul was hit on the elbow by Prasidh Krishna’s ball and he came off the field for a scan. Meanwhile, Australian media claimed that Kohli had also undergone scans for an undisclosed injury. The Bengaluru player scored his last Test century against South Africa at Centurion in December 2023 and since then, he has scored just 2 fifties in nine innings.
Claim – Kohli had also been scanned. Australian newspaper Sydney Morning Herald had claimed that star batsman Virat Kohli was scanned for an unknown injury on Thursday. However, he was not prevented from participating in the practice match and scored 15 points before being dismissed.
On this, a source told PTI, “There are no concerns regarding Virat Kohli at the moment.” He has struggled to score big runs and his last Test century came against the West Indies at Port of Spain in July 2023. Since then, the 36-year-old has scored just two fifties in 14 Test innings . In the last 60 innings, Kohli has averaged 31.68 with just two centuries. His average in 2024 is just 22.72 across six Tests.
