KL Rahul ruled out from the T20 series due to an injury

KL Rahul put out a heartfelt tweet after missing out on an opportunity to captain India on home soil for the first time due to a right groin injury that ruled him out of the five-match T20I series against South Africa. Rishabh Pant, who was the vice-captain for this series, was named as captain by the selection committee. The news came on the eve of the series opener at the Arun Jaitley Stadium in New Delhi. Admitting that the injury is “hard to accept,” Rahul shared his good wishes for Pant, who will captain India for the first time on Thursday evening.

Hard to accept but I begin another challenge today. Gutted not to be leading the side for the first time at home, but the boys have all my support from the sidelines. Heartfelt thanks to all for your support.Wishing Rishabh and the boys all the luck for the series. See you soo
