Team India vice-captain KL Rahul was recently spotted working on his fitness as he gears up for the side's upcoming multi-format tour of Bangladesh.

In a video shared by Rahul's cricketer friend Sinan Kader on Instagram on Friday, November 25, the two can be seen running at a stadium. The opening batter is set to return to action next month after a brief absence.

Kader posted:

Rahul was a part of the Indian squad for the T20 World Cup 2022 in Australia. However, he struggled for form during the showpiece event, failing to score runs consistently.

The right-handed batter mustered 126 runs in six matches at the ICC event, including two half-centuries. However, he was targeted by many fans for not showing enough intent during the powerplay overs. Rahul finished with an underwhelming strike rate of 120.75.
