KL Rahul's Injury Update: India Coach Assures No Major Concerns

KL Rahul retired hurt on the first day of India's Test match against Sri Lanka, but his condition has been deemed not serious by the team's batting coach, Sitanshu Kotak. Rahul scored 77 runs off 162 balls before experiencing cramps and leaving the field during the final session.

He had formed a significant partnership of 150 runs with Devdutt Padikkal, who went on to score an unbeaten 131, marking his first international century. Padikkal's performance was highlighted by his confidence and variety of shots against the Sri Lankan bowling attack.

India finished the day at 288 for two, with Rishabh Pant also contributing 27 runs. While Rahul's departure raised some concerns, Kotak's update should alleviate worries about his fitness as the team looks to build on their strong position in the match.
