By IANS News August 07, 2021 • 13:57 PM View: 3250

India's injury woes have turned into a blessing in disguise for KL Rahul, who cashed in on an opportunity to play his first Test in close to two years by scoring 84, at Trent Bridge against England here on Friday.

Rahul, who was being prepared for the middle-order, was forced into opener's role after injuries to regular openers, Shubman Gill and Mayank Agarwal. Gill, who had injured his left leg has already returned home while Agarwal suffered a blow to his head and suffered concussion ahead of the first Test.
