Ahead of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy, Team India is playing a simulation match against India A at the WACA stadium in Perth.
It is a three-day warm match and is not available for public viewing. During the match, Team India`s wicketkeeper-batsman KL Rahul got a hit on his right elbow after facing a rising delivery. Later, the right-hander tried to resume his batting but seemed difficult for him. Following the injury, KL Rahul was seen leaving the ground with the team`s physiotherapist. Taking to X:
