KL Rahul performance could be crucial for India at the World Cup.
It is important to note that KL Rahul, India’s star batter, could play a significant role in the forthcoming World Cup in 2023. Rahul was sidelined for several months after suffering an injury in the 16th season of the Indian Premier League (IPL) in 2023.
The 31-year-old made an incredible recovery and produced a stunning century against Pakistan in the recently finished Asia Cup 2023, despite the significant setback. Rahul will also be motivated to provide his best efforts in order to help India advance further in the World Cup now that he has been chosen for the team.
Notably, on October 8 at the MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai, team India will play its first World Cup match against Australia. The team is currently taking part in tournament warm-up games. against Saturday, September 30, India was due to take against England in their first pregame match. However, the game was called off without a ball being bowled when the rain decided to play spoilsport.
On Tuesday, October 3, India will play the Netherlands in their final exhibition match before the start of their World Cup campaign.
