Kuala Lumpur’s Rahul, who recently withdrew from the Indian Premier League and World Test Championship final due to injury, said on Twitter that he underwent a successful surgery.
“Hi everyone, I just finished surgery – it was a success. A big thank you to the doctors and medical staff for making sure I was comfortable and everything ran smoothly. I’m officially on the road to recovery now. I’m determined to get back to my best self and get back on the court. Forward and forward. Top!” Kuala Lumpur Rahul posted in the early hours of Wednesday.
This led to the Board of Control for Cricket for India appointing Ishan Kishan as his replacement, citing Rahul’s exclusion from India’s squad for the upcoming World Test Final, adding “It has been decided that Rahul will undergo surgery at the earliest followed by rehabilitation at the National Cricket Academy for the same.” .

Earlier last week, Rahul ruled himself out for the one-off Test against Australia starting on June 7 at The Oval in London, after sustaining a groin injury while fielding the Lucknow Super Giants-Royal Challengers Bangalore game.
I certainly won’t be at the Oval next month with Team India. I will do everything I can to get back in the blue and help my country. This has always been my focus and priority,” the 31-year-old posted on his social media.
“After careful consideration and consultation with the medical team, it has been concluded that I will be undergoing surgery on my thigh soon. My focus will be on rehabilitation and recovery in the coming weeks. It is a difficult call, but I know it is the right call to ensure a full recovery.”
