KL Rahul has undergone a successful surgery on his injured right thigh and has “officially started his road to recovery”.
The senior batter took to social media on Tuesday to provide an update. He also thanked the medical staff and doctors and promised to get back on the field soon.
The 31-year-old suffered the thigh injury while fielding for Lucknow Super Giants against Royal Challengers Bangalore earlier this month. He was subsequently ruled out of the tournament and next month’s World Test Championship final against Australia at The Oval.
“Hi everyone, I just got done with my surgery. It was successful,” Rahul wrote on his social media handles.
“A big thank you to the doctors and medical staff for making sure I was comfortable and everything went smoothly,” the LSG skipper said.
Rahul, who was replaced by Ishan Kishan in the Indian squad for the WTC final, added that he was “determined” to return to the field.
“I am officially on the road to recovery now. I am determined to get back to my best and get back on the field. Onwards and upwards,” he said.
Rahul will undergo his rehabilitation at the National Cricket Academy in Bangalore under the supervision of BCCI doctors and physios. He will target a return for the Asia Cup and the ODI World Cup later this year.
