It is worth noting that Rahul is currently at the NCA after his successful surgery for sports hernia in Germany. The player had missed the five-match T20I series against South Africa in June this year. He was about to lead the Indian team in the series in the absence of regular skipper Rohit Shama but a groin injury forced him to pull out of the series.

Rahul was last seen playing competitive cricket in the Indian Premier League 2022. He had led newbies Lucknow Super Giants in the tournament this year. Under Rahul’s leadership, LSG reached Qualifier 2 of IPL 2022 where they lost to Rajasthan Royals by 7 wickets. Another debutant Gujarat Titans eventually won the title by defeating Rajasthan Royals by seven wickets in the final.
