“Absolutely gutted that I won’t be at the Oval next month with Team India. I’ll do everything I can to get back in the blue and help my country. That has always been my focus and priority. After careful consideration and consultation with the medical team, it’s been concluded that I’ll be undergoing surgery on my thigh shortly. My focus will be on my rehabilitation and recovery in the coming weeks. It’s a tough call to make, but I know it’s the right one to ensure a full recovery,” the LSG skipper had posted on his social media after he decided to undergo thigh surgery.
“Hi everyone, I just got done with my surgery – it was successful. A big thank you to the doctors and medical staff for making sure I was comfortable and everything went smoothly. I’m officially on the road to recovery now. I’m determined to get back to my best and get back on the field. Onwards and upwards!” KL Rahul had posted on his Instagram account on May 10 after his surgery.
The BCCI has named Ishan Kishan as the replacement for injured KL Rahul for the WTC final while Ruturaj Gaikwad, Suryakumar Yadav and Mukesh Kumar have also been added as reserves.
