‘So fast? Bhai took almost 9 months’ – Fans react to Shreyas Iyer’s ‘I never imagined that I would recover so fast’ statement ahead of Asia Cup 2023

The Men in Blue are all set to lock horns against arch-rivals Pakistan on September 2 in Kandy, Sri Lanka, to commence their Asia Cup journey. Notably, Rohit Sharma’s side has marked the return of star batter Shreyas Iyer in the squad, which can boost India’s middle order issue. In addition, India’s star cricketer sustained injuries during the fourth Test match of the Border Gavaskar Trophy earlier this year.

Meanwhile, India’s stalwart has recently opened up about his injuries. Notably, the great middle-order batter says that he was taking the injections, which allowed him to play more matches. In addition, the great batter says there was a point in his life that pushed him to get the surgery done.

“I had this issue for a while but I was taking injections and was going through various routes to see to it that I am steady and playing many more matches. But it reached a saturation point where I realized that I have to get a surgery and the physios and the experts told me it was important you go under the knife and get this done with straight,” Shreyas Iyer said in the video posted by Indian Cricket Board.

Moreover, after the successful surgery, the 28-year-old batter has spent three weeks in London, as the doctors wanted to see the level of progress over a certain period of time. Furthermore, the KKR skipper admitted that after the surgery, his first running session was difficult. In addition, the Mumbai-born batter expressed happiness at returning to the team after his grave injuries. Notably, the right-handed batter feels his recovery was fast.

“Post surgery, I was there for 3 weeks in London, because the doctor had to check the progress of me over a period of time. Gradually as we started doing some running sessions, the first running session was extremely tough, I am truly happy to be back where I am right now because I never imagined that I would recover so fast,” he added further.
