Promising Batter Faces Recovery Period After Injury
Indian cricket fans received disappointing news as young opener Devdutt Padikkal shared that he will be facing a temporary hiatus from the game due to a thumb fracture. The left-handed batter revealed that the injury, incurred during the Deodhar Trophy, will keep him out of action for an estimated three to four weeks.
Padikkal, who showcased his prowess by playing two T20Is for India in 2021, suffered the thumb injury during the course of the Deodhar Trophy earlier this month. As a result, he has been absent from the ongoing Maharaja KSCA T20 trophy, where he was set to represent the Gulbarga Mystics.
Clarifying his situation, Padikkal stated, “I had a left-thumb fracture during the Deodhar Trophy. So, I had to undergo a minor surgery to get that fixed. I will be out of the game for probably another three to four weeks. Hopefully, I can be back on the field soon,” as he informed Fancode.
The batter underwent a surgical procedure to address the thumb fracture, sharing his journey to recovery on social media. Padikkal expressed his eagerness to return to the field as he shared, “Just a quick update. Sustained a fracture on my left thumb and had to undergo a surgery. The road to recovery begins now, and I can’t wait to get back out on the field soon.”
The setback comes as a blow for the cricketing sensation, halting his ongoing participation in the Maharaja KSCA T20 trophy and putting a pause on his promising career trajectory. As Padikkal embarks on his journey of recovery, fans and fellow players alike will eagerly await his triumphant return to the cricketing arena.
