KL Rahul's Promising Test Series Met With Unfortunate Injury Twist

KL Rahul featured in just the opening game of the five-match series against England where he was impressive with the bat, scoring a well-compiled 86-run knock in the first innings and then a 22-run knock. Subsequently, he experienced discomfort in his right quadriceps before the second match, leading to his absence for the remainder of the series.
