Team India vice-captain KL Rahul had a year to forget in 2022, ending the season with an average of 14.25 in the two-match Test series against Bangladesh last month. Although the stand-in captain led India to a 2-0 series whitewash against Shakib al Hasan’s side, the Lucknow Super Giants skipper had a top-score of only 22 with the bat.

The India opener was once again trolled by Indian cricket fans on social after posting his pictures on social media platforms with girlfriend Athiya Shetty. It is rumoured that Rahul may get married to Athiya later this month and that’s why he has been given a break from the three-match T20I series against Sri Lanka which begins on Tuesday (January 3).

Rahul posted a series of pictures with Athiya and captioned them ‘2023’ with a ‘heart emoji’. Check KL Rahul’s post here…

Rahul is expected to be back in in action for the Sri Lanka ODIs, beginning January 10 in Guwahati. Before that, the Hardik Pandya-led side will take on the visitors in a three-match T20I series which will get underway on Tuesday in Mumbai.

Rahul, along with Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma and other senior players, has been rested from the T20Is. Since the team has started preparations for the ODI World Cup later this year, the seniors have been asked to focus on the 50-over format only.

Meanwhile, on Sunday (January 1), the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) held a review meeting of the team in Mumbai which was attended by BCCI chief Roger Binny, secretary Jay Shah, India captain Rohit Sharma, head coach Rahul Dravid, NCA chief VVS Laxman and chief selector Chetan Sharma. According to media reports, the BCCI have shortlisted 20 players for ICC Men’s World Cup 2023 who will rotated over the course of this year.
