K.L. Rahul attended to by physio after getting hit on hand

Injury concern for India's K.L. Rahul ahead of Boxing Day Test at MCG, team management silent on severity.

India opener K.L. Rahul got hit on his hand while batting at the nets on Saturday (December 21, 2024) and was promptly attended to by the visiting team's physio ahead of the fourth Test against Australia.

Rahul was hit on his right hand and was seen in some discomfort at the Melbourne Cricket Ground, which will host the Boxing Day Test from December 26 with the five-match series levelled at 1-1.

There is no clarity on the extent of injury and the team management has also not issued any statement on why he had sought medical attention.

In a video that surfaced on social media, Rahul was seen holding the right hand while receiving treatment.
