Indian batter KL Rahul suffered a blow to his right hand while batting in the nets at the Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG) on Saturday. If it is serious, it could be a major blow to India’s hopes of winning the series as Rahul has been their in-form batter so far. He has scored 235 runs in six innings and three Tests so far at an average of 47 with two half-centuries. In a viral video, Rahul receives treatment on his right hand while in full batting gear.

Although the batter didn’t seem too bothered, the Indian team management is yet to issue an update on the severity of the blow.

Here’s how the internet reacted:

In eight Tests this year, Rahul has scored 469 runs at an average of 39.08, with four half-centuries and a top score of 86 in 14 innings. In the ICC World Test Championship 2023-25 ​​cycle, he has accumulated 574 runs in nine matches at an average of 41.00, with one century, four fifties and a top score of 101.
