‘Ohhh chalo good news for us’ – Fans react as KL Rahul to undergo fitness test to claim his spot in Asia Cup squad

Sri Lanka and Pakistan are all set to host the Asia Cup, which commences on August 30. In addition, with just a few days left for the Asia Cup, the Men in Blue are still struggling to get the number four batter ahead of the tournament. Notably, the return of Indian pacers Jasprit Bumrah and Prasidh Krishna is a sign of relief for Rohit Sharma’s side, whereas the return of KL Rahul and Shreyas Iyer is still doubtful owing to their injuries.

In addition, the previous sources say that LSG skipper KL Rahul is all set to make his mark in the Asia Cup, whereas the fresh reports suggest that the right-handed batter has to pass the fitness test on August 18 to claim his spot in the Asia Cup. Notably, the stylish batter sustained an injury during the recently concluded IPL in the game against Royal Challengers Bangalore, due to which he had to miss the rest of the IPL, the World Test Championship final, the ongoing series against the West Indies, and the upcoming Ireland tour.

KL Rahul’s return will definitely boost the India squad in the Asia Cup

Moreover, the wicketkeeper batter’s return will definitely boost the India squad, as they are still facing issues at the number four spot. In addition, some reports suggest that if the LSG opener doesn’t make his way during the Asia Cup, the chances for his inclusion in the World Cup are difficult. Furthermore, the chief selectors are waiting for KL Rahul and Shreyas Iyer’s injury updates, as they have yet to announce the squad for the Asia Cup, while other teams such as Pakistan and Bangladesh have already announced their roasters.

Notably, there are strong chances that the former India vice captain will make his way in the Asia Cup, but if it doesn’t happen, it will force Indian skipper Rohit Sharma to experiment with the batters in the Asia Cup for the upcoming 50-over World Cup.
