KL Rahul had sustained ligament damage on his left ankle during India’s tour of England last summer. He underwent surgery and missed most of India’s home season before returning to play for Royal Challengers Bangalore in IPL 2019 where he scored 223 runs at an average of 23 with one fifty and two hundreds against Kolkata Knight Riders on May 20 – two days before being recalled back into national colours
Rohit Sharma has been ruled out of India’s three-match One-Day International series against New Zealand
Rohit Sharma has been ruled out of India’s three-match One-Day International series against New Zealand, which begins on Wednesday.
The 31-year-old batsman had last played for India in October 2018 and was expected to return for this series after recovering from a thigh injury sustained during the World Cup semi-final against Australia at Lord’s last year. He had also missed out on playing in the Test series against West Indies following a calf strain he suffered during his county stint with Surrey earlier this year.
Rohit’s absence means KL Rahul will open with Shikhar Dhawan at Eden Park in Auckland on Wednesday (January 30). The former captain had recently undergone surgery on his right foot as he underwent treatment for plantar fasciitis (inflammation of tissue under the base of big toe).
Conclusion
The BCCI confirmed on Sunday that Rohit – who was named in India’s ODI squad for the series against New Zealand – will be replaced by KL Rahul.
