Indian batsman KL Rahul shared an emotional post on social media platform Instagram as the Indian Cricket team continues to stay off the field and away from cricketing action owing to the unprecedented situation put forward by the coronavirus pandemic.
Although international cricket has returned with the England-West Indies series, Indian players have not even started training properly on the cricket field as COVID-19 cases continue to increase in India.

Amid all this, Rahul has shared this picture of himself holding his helmet and other cricket equipment lying around hi. He chose to caption the post: “I miss you.”
Rahul was expected to lead his Indian Premier League (IPL) franchise Kings XI Punjab for the first time this season but the tournament stands postponed indefinitely owing to the worldwide health emergency. Although several media reports claim that the tournament might happen in October, if the T20 World Cup gets postponed, there is still no clarity on the status of the tournament.
After his failure to replicate the success of Perth in Adelaide, there were growing calls of dropping K L Rahul back to No.6, but the Karnataka right-hander continued to enjoy the backing of the team management, and walked out as the opener at the Gabba.
As SA20, South Africa's franchise-based T20 league, gets ready to host its third season in January-February 2025, Graeme Smith, the League Commissioner is quite happy with its progress so far but says they are not keen on expanding and innovating as of now.
India’s Test stalwart Cheteshwar Pujara has voiced his support for KL Rahul to retain his place at the top of the order, even suggesting that Rohit Sharma could move down to No.3 to accommodate him for the day-night Test at the Adelaide Oval, starting December 6.
