KL Rahul Likely To Be Ruled Out Of World Test Championship Final Against Australia: Report

New Delhi: India wicketkeeper-batter KL Rahul in all probability is out of the World Test Championship (WTC) final against Australia that starts on June 7, according to report. Rahul, who suffered a hamstring injury during Lucknow Super Giants’ game against Royal Challengers Bangalore in IPL 2023, has already left the franchise and is in Mumbai for scans.

Based on a report by Cricbuzz, the results of the scans will determine his participation in the WTC final in London. Neither the BCCI nor the LSG team management have come out with any formal announce about Rahul’s injury and this speculative nature is enough for the outsiders to guess how intense the matter is.

The LSG thinktank are yet to announce a replacement for Rahul. There are only four games left for LSG and Krunal Pandya has already taken up the captain’s baton.

Rahul injured his right thigh while sprinting towards boundary to a Faf du Plessis cover drive off Marcus Stoinis bowling. Not on Rahul, pacer Jaydev Unadkat’s shoulder injury that he suffered at LSG nets while bowling, has also put BCCI in dilemma.

Unadkat’s shoulder isn’t in a good shape and has also been ruled out of IPL 2023, much like Rahul.

Lionel Messi’s Newest Tattoo Sparks Speculations About PSG Star’s Barcelona Return

New Delhi: Lionel Messi’s newest tattoo on his left leg has sparked speculations about his return to Barcelona. The Argentina World Cup winner will leave Ligue 1 giants Paris Saint-Germain at the end of the season with both the player and the club not interested to extend the contract.

It is still not clear where Messi’s next destination would be, but reports from various media outlet suggest that the PSG forward has offers from Barcelona, Major League Soccer and Saudi Arabia.

It is understood thar Barcelone, where Messi played all is life before moving to PSG, wants to re-sign their star with Saudi Arabian club Al Hilal also offering a huge £350m a year for the Argentine. MLS club Inter Miami are also pushing for Messi.

However, Messi is currently under two-week suspension by PSG for travelling to Saudi Arabia for a two-day trip without informing the Ligue 1 club. In case Messi re-signs for Barcelone, it is to be seen whether he will agree to the much lesser salary that PSG give him currently, to comply with La Liga Financial Fair Play Rules.

For the unknown, Messi is a tourism ambassador for Saudi Arabia. He travelled with his family in the middle-eastern country and was pictured holding a falcon on his arm. Messi was also seen watching a palm-weaving demonstration and visited the Arabian Horse Museum.

However, according to Italian journalist Fabrizio Romano, La Liga president Javier Tebas said Barcelona signing Messi will depend on a lot of factors. “If Barça signs Leo Messi, his salary will be less than what it is at Paris Saint-Germain. His return is now conditional on selling players. I think that Barça will get a good amount from selling players this summer,” Tebas said.
