India opening batsman KL Rahul is probably going through the worst phase of his cricketing life not because he is not able to score runs but because he is not getting fit to play cricket. Rahul tested positive for Covid-19 ahead of his fitness test at NCA on Thursday. Rahul has been named in the T20I squad for India vs West Indies series, subject to his fitness. Rahul will most likely miss the T20I series as well. Earlier, when South Africa toured India he was named captain of the Indian team but he suffered a groin injury. Rishabh Pant replaced him as the skipper. Rahul has not played a single game of cricket since IPL 2022. Earlier this week he shared a video of his recovery on Instagram where it looked like he is all fit to take the flight to the Caribbean.
