New Delhi: Lucknow Super Giants skipper KL Rahul is all set to play for his franchise from the opening IPL game after getting all clear from the National Cricket Academy but he has been advised against wicketkeeping in the first few games.

Rahul posted a short video of his batting, basic keeping drills and outfielding practice at the NCA.

“The NCA has given him clearance and he will join his mates in Lucknow in a couple of days. He has been told to avoid squatting initially and he can don the big gloves in the coming days. For a first few games, he will only play as a pure batter,” a BCCI source said.

It is understood that even the franchise isn’t losing sleep as they have two quality short-format glovesmen in Quinton de Kock and Nicholas Pooran.

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
