Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) fast bowler Mohsin Khan expressed his gratitude towards his team and reflected on his remarkable journey after a career-threatening injury. In a press conference following his match-winning performance against Mumbai Indians, Mohsin revealed the immense challenges he had faced in the past year and the unwavering support he received from the LSG team.
Mohsin's emotional words resonated with the audience as he shared the difficulties he encountered during his road to recovery. He recounted how a serious shoulder injury had sidelined him for an entire year, leading him to believe that he may never be able to play cricket again. He explained that even the simplest tasks, such as lifting his hand, seemed impossible during his darkest moments. The situation became all the more alarming when doctors warned him that delaying the surgery by a month could have resulted in the amputation of his hand.
Recalling the overwhelming circumstances he faced, Mohsin emphasized that no cricketer should have to endure such a condition. He explained that his injury involved a blocked artery and nerve, which caused considerable distress and uncertainty. However, with the support of his physio and the relentless determination to return to the field, Mohsin was able to overcome these obstacles.
Expressing his gratitude, Mohsin credited the LSG team management for their unwavering faith in him. Despite a disappointing performance in a previous game, the team showed immense trust by selecting him to play against Mumbai Indians. Mohsin expressed his gratitude to Gautam Gambhir, Vijay Dahiya, and the rest of the support staff, acknowledging their belief in his abilities.
LSG's stand-in captain, Krunal Pandya, also praised Mohsin for his mental strength and resilience. He commended Mohsin's big heart and highlighted how such qualities propel individuals to great heights in the sport. Krunal expressed his happiness for Mohsin, acknowledging the difficult journey he had undertaken, including a serious surgery, and his ability to return to the IPL in such a high-pressure situation.
Mohsin's inspiring story serves as a testament to his fortitude and determination. He exemplifies the essence of a true sportsman, displaying unwavering dedication and mental strength in the face of adversity. With LSG now vying for a place in the playoffs, Mohsin's remarkable comeback adds a touch of inspiration to their pursuit of success.
LSG won the match by 5 runs against MI in their IPL 2023 match.

It's high time, NCA hires the best one. Not based on retired quota players. Many are getting injured. Do proper backr research and find the problem.
