Indian wicketkeeper Ishan Kishan has playfully teased KL Rahul as the latter continues his recovery journey from a leg injury sustained during the IPL. Rahul suffered a tendon tear in his right leg while fielding in a match against Royal Challengers Bangalore on May 1st. Despite the injury, Rahul returned to the pitch later in the same match, but subsequently had to sit out the rest of the IPL 2023 season and the World Test Championship final. He underwent successful surgery and has been sharing updates on his recovery progress.
In an Instagram post, Rahul expressed his gratitude to the medical staff and doctors for their support and announced his determination to return to his best form. He has been actively sharing images and videos documenting his journey back to full fitness. Recently, he posted a series of images and videos, showcasing his intensifying rehabilitation efforts.
