During a match against the Royal Challengers Bangalore, Lucknow Super Giants skipper KL Rahul suffered a leg injury while chasing a ball to the third-man fence. Despite being seen holding his right thigh in visible pain, Rahul opted to walk off the field with the help of physios, rather than using a stretcher.
Krunal Pandya took over the captaincy duties for the team. This injury is a setback for LSG as Rahul is their second-highest scorer in IPL 2023 with 274 runs, although his low strike rate of 114 has been criticized.
