Rahul had left the field for medical attention on Friday after sustaining a blow on his elbow by pacer Prasidh Krishna while batting in an intra-squad practice match at the WACA ground.

KL Rahul recovered from an elbow injury. He will likely open the batting for India in the first Test against Australia. Rohit Sharma will miss the match. He is spending time with his newborn baby. Jasprit Bumrah will captain India in Rohit's absence.

Rahul’s return to action boosted the visiting camp’s morale, which could be without their star batter, Shubman Gill, for the Perth Test due to a broken thumb.
