KL Rahul is out of the World Test Championship final against Australia. The LSG captain injured his thigh in IPL 2023 match against RCB. He will have surgery to fix the problem and miss the remaining games of the IPL and the important final against Australia.
Former India pacer Dodda Ganesh wants the national selectors to pick Wriddhiman Saha in place of injured KL Rahul. His tweet came after Saha slammed an aggressive fifty against Lucknow Super Giants at the Narendra Modi Stadium.
The wicket-keeper batter accumulated 81 off 43 balls and shared a match-winning partnership with Shubman Gill, who amassed 94 off 51 balls. The home team finished with 227/2 in 20 overs.
Not just Dodda, former India captain Virat Kohli also lauded Wriddhiman for his batting display against the Krunal Pandya-led franchise.
Saha was dropped from the Test team after Virat left the Test captaincy. He was deemed unfit for the Indian team by head coach Rahul Dravid and captain Rohit Sharma.
