AUS vs IND: KL Rahul ruled out of the remaining two Test matches
India’s wicketkeeper-batsman KL Rahul has been ruled out of the remaining two Test matches against Australia. He suffered a wrist injury while practising in the nets.
According to the statement released by BCCI, Rahul had “sprained his left wrist while batting in the nets and it will take three weeks time to recover completely and regain full strength”.
India have been marred by plenty of injuries on this Australian tour. Earlier, Mohammed Shami and Umesh Yadav were ruled out due to injuries and have been sent to the National Cricket Academy in Bangalore. KL Rahul now joins the list.
UPDATE: KL Rahul ruled out of Border-Gavaskar Trophy.

Although KL Rahul had not featured in the first two test matches, he would have been a useful option for the Indian team to count upon. The third Test between India and Australia begins on 7th January in Sydney. The four-match series currently stands level at 1-each after Australia won in Adelaide and India celebrated a victory in Melbourne.
