He was also appointed vice-captain of the Test side.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>However, he got injured (hamstring injury) during the training session in Mumbai and was later ruled out of the Test series against Proteas.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>He is currently at the National Cricket Academy (NCA) in Bengaluru where he is working on his recovery.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Earlier, the Indian cricket board (BCCI) had said that Rohit might return in three weeks to lead the team in the ODI series, starting on January 19, 2022.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>But now a report by Sports Today is suggesting that he is unlikely to recover in time and KL Rahul might lead the team.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p><strong>Also Read: <\/strong> <a href=\"  https:\/\/www.cricketnmore.com\/australia-vs-england-ashes\">Ashes 2021-22 - England vs Australia Schedule and Squads<\/a><\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>KL Rahul made a brilliant start to the Test series against South Africa as he hit an unbeaten ton (122*) on Day 1 of the ongoing first Test in Centurion. With this, he became only the second Indian opener to score a century in the Rainbow Nation after Wasim Jaffer&#39;s century in Cape Town in 2006-07.<\/p>\r\n",
