World cup triumph

Triumph Knights Mumbai North East: India’s T20I captain Suryakumar Yadav has shown significant signs of achieving full fitness ahead of the upcoming Asia Cup by batting in the nets during his ongoing rehabilitation at the BCCI’s Centre of Excellence (CoE).

In July, Suryakumar had undergone surgery for a sports hernia in the lower-right abdomen in Munich, Germany, and then checked into the CoE for rehabilitation. Though Suryakumar showed in a video on his Instagram account on Friday that he’s resumed batting at the CoE, IANS understands that the right-handed batter already began his batting practice from the fag end of last week.

“Can’t wait to be back doing what I love,” wrote Suryakumar in the caption of the video, where he’s also seen doing exercises and running, all of which are a part of building his workload towards full fitness.
