Rahul was supposed to captain the five-match T20I rubber against South Africa earlier this month. however, the injury before the start of the tournament saw Rishabh Pant take over the mantle of captaincy.

Soon after the injury, the BCCI flew KL Rahul out to Germany for treatment. This has seen him missing out on the entire tour of England, starting on July 1. Talking about his return to cricket, it will remain to be seen how long the rehabilitation and recovery period will be, post-surgery.

Recently, he captained the Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2022. He took his side to the playoffs but lost to Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) in the Eliminator.
