KL Rahul will no longer be a part of Team India for the remaining two Tests of the Border Gavaskar Series. Leaving Team India in between, he will now return to India and will go under rehabilitation at the National Cricket Academy (NCA) in Bangalore.

With this, he became the third Indian player to return to India during the four-match Test series on the Australia tour. Mohammad Shami and Umesh Yadav have already returned to their home soil after getting injured.
