India and Kolkata Knight Riders left-arm spinner Kuldeep Yadav has undergone surgery after sustaining a knee injury
India and Kolkata Knight Riders left-arm spinner Kuldeep Yadav has undergone surgery after sustaining a knee injury. The 26-year-old had already left the IPL 2021 bubble in the UAE and returned to India.
Kuldeep yadav @imkuldeep18 Surgery was a success and the road to recovery has just begun. Thank you so much to everyone for your amazing support. The focus is now to complete my rehab well and be back on the pitch doing what I love as soon as possible. ♥️🙏🏻 09:02 AM • Sep 09, 2021
Kuldeep now faces a time on the sidelines with a recovery and rehabilitation program to follow. It's a significant blow to his prospects of forging his way back after dropping off over the last couple of seasons.
A mainstay in India's white-ball teams until the 2019 World Cup, Kuldeep has endured a slump in returns, his drop in performance coinciding with India's decision to shelve their two wristspinners theory.
The IPL hasn't exactly been a stage to push for a comeback, having been usurped in the playing XI by CV Varun. Kuldeep took a solitary wicket from five appearances in IPL 2020 and wasn't picked for any game in the ongoing 2021 season.
Kuldeep played in India's recent white-ball tour of Sri Lanka, taking 2 for 48 in an ODI game and 2 for 20 in a T20I. He went wicketless in the other ODI and T20I.
