Indian cricketer KL Rahul recently shared an update on his injury and subsequent surgery through his social media accounts, providing fans with a glimpse into his recovery process. The Lucknow Super Giants captain posted photographs of himself using crutches, revealing the aftermath of his right thigh surgery, which took place following an injury sustained during an IPL 2023 game against the Royal Challengers Bangalore.
Expressing his disappointment, Rahul announced his decision to undergo surgery, which unfortunately ruled him out of the remaining IPL season and the upcoming World Test Championship final against Australia. Taking to social media, he conveyed his emotions, stating, "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."
The Indian Cricket Board supported Rahul's decision and provided details of his upcoming medical procedures. The Indian Cricket Board confirmed that Rahul would undergo surgery promptly, followed by rehabilitation at the National Cricket Academy. They also announced Ishan Kishan as Rahul's replacement for the World Test Championship final, with Ruturaj Gaikwad, Suryakumar Yadav, and Mukesh Kumar added as reserves.
Thank you note from Indian batter
After his surgery, Rahul shared an update with his fans, expressing gratitude to the medical team. He stated, "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."
Despite the setback, Rahul remains determined to return to the cricket field stronger than ever. He emphasized his commitment to rehabilitation and regaining his peak form, concluding his update with the words, "I'm determined to get back to my best and get back on the field. Onwards and upwards!"
