India opener KL Rahul left the field after being struck on the elbow by fast-bowling teammate Prasidh Krishna in an intra-squad match in Perth on Friday, while Virat Kohli emerged to bat despite injury concerns ahead of the test series against Australia.

Ahead of the Perth Test, KL Rahul suffered a major blow in practice. Earlier, reports suggested that Virat Kohli also underwent some scans.

The simulation will run for three days, and it is expected that the Indian bowlers will have a go on the second day of the match. Jasprit Bumrah is likely to return after an extended break, having missed the final Test of the series against New Zealand earlier this month.
