A fake post circulating on social media has falsely claimed that Indian cricketer KL Rahul has announced his retirement from cricket. The misleading post suggests that Rahul is excited about a new chapter in his life while reminiscing about his cricketing career.

Check out the post here:

Earlier, Rahul made a cryptic post of an upcoming important announcement on his official Instagram account. The post reads, "I have an announcement to make, stay tuned..."

However, the announcement was about KL Rahul's association with a brand named 'METAMAN' debunking all the 'retirement' rumours.

KL Rahul, who recently played in the series against Sri Lanka after missing out on the T20 World Cup squad, struggled with a string of low scores. Despite these setbacks, the 32-year-old still has a lot of cricket left in him, and many fans believe he can continue to contribute to the Indian team.

Rahul is set to participate in the upcoming Duleep Trophy 2024, which starts on September 5. This tournament will be crucial for him as he faces stiff competition from players like Ishan Kishan, KS Bharat, and Rishabh Pant for a spot in the Indian team. A strong performance in the Duleep Trophy could bolster his chances of being selected for the Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2025 against Australia.
