Indian wicket-keeper batter KL Rahul received treatment on his right arm during a practice session at the Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG) ahead of the fourth Test against Australia.
Despite receiving medical attention, Rahul does not appear to be in significant discomfort, and there are no major concerns regarding his participation in the upcoming match.
The 32-year-old has been in excellent form throughout the ongoing series, consistently contributing with significant runs.
Rahul's successful partnership with fellow opener Yashasvi Jaiswal played a key role in India's dominant 295-run victory in the first Test on November 22 against Australia.
His injury history has been a point of concern, having faced multiple setbacks during his career.
Initially, he was expected to be sidelined for the ongoing series, but his position was strengthened due to the absence of skipper Rohit Sharma in the first Test.
After his standout performance in the first match, Rahul's consistency earned him a permanent spot at the top of the order, with Rohit Sharma being moved to the middle order for the first time since 2019 to accommodate him.
The in-form batter is currently India's second-highest scorer in the Pink Ball Test.
His impressive 84-run knock in India's first innings of the third Test further highlighted his form.
It is pertinent to mention that the Border-Gavaskar Trophy is delicately poised at 1-1 after the third Test ended in a rain-affected draw.
India claimed the opening Test with a commanding 295-run victory, while Australia responded with a 10-wicket win in the second match.
The decisive fourth Test will take place at the Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG) from December 26-30.
