Kannur Lokesh Rahul was in the dumps for four months with a serious injury that required surgery. And just when he seemed totally mended, he suffered a niggle that put his comeback in doubt. But with determination and rehabilitation, he fought back and got the nod to play in the Asia Cup.
Though he was not available for the first two games, when he got the opportunity against Pakistan, the Karnataka batsman made the most of it, hammering a scintillating run-a-ball century to put India in a strong position. His form and fitness augurs well for Team India both, in the ongoing Asia Cup, as well as the World Cup to follow.
