Bengaluru: K L Rahul, India’s opening batsman, will likely be playing in the Ranji Trophy semi-final match against Bengal, which is scheduled to be held at the Eden Gardens in Kolkata on Saturday, February 29.
The batsman is now available to play for the Ranji Trophy after having rested from Karnataka’s quarter-final match.
Rahul has been performing well in the limited-overs series against Australia and New Zealand. In his last ten innings in the ODIs and T20s, the batsman scored on century and four fifty-plus scores.
Manish Pandey also joined the team after returning from New Zealand after India completed the limited-overs part of their tour.
Gujarat, Saurashtra, Bengal and Karnataka finished at the top of the combined groups A and B table. All the four are now progressing to the semi-finals.
