How injured KL Rahul reacted after Gautam Gambhir took his place in the side

New Delhi: KL Rahul was on Tuesday ruled out of the ongoing India-New Zealand series due to a hamstring problem.

The right-hander is widely regarded as the most improved Indian batsman after a string of solid performances in all forms of the game.

The BCCI named veteran batsman Gautam Gambhir as his replacement for the remaining two Tests.

Rahul had recently displaced Shikhar Dhawan from the side as an opener. Hence he was terribly disappointed with the timing of the injury.

Taking to social micro-blogging site Twitter, Rahul shared his sentiments over his current situation.

India won the first Test at Kanpur by a 197-run margin. The Karnataka batsman scored 32, 38 in both innings.

Virat Kohli and co will aim to seal the series and clinch the no.1 ranking in the 2nd Test at Eden Gardens.
