India’s deputy skipper, KL Rahul is working on his fitness ahead of the India tour of Bangladesh. In an Instagram post, the opener is seen running in the field along with childhood friend Sinan Kader. Rahul will be coming back to competitive cricket post the T20I World Cup 2022. He was rested for the T20 and ODI series against New Zealand.
