Lucknow Super Giants’ player disheartened on being ruled out
“I will miss [the tournament] a lot. I had come here after an injury and had thought I would play matches for my team and do well. But unfortunately, I will have to leave because I have suffered an injury.
“A cricketer has to be mentally strong for this. If you have an injury, you need to see what you have to do to make a comeback, what things you need to take care of.”
It is pertinent to mention that the 25-year-old bowler last played a competitive match in August 2023. Featuring Central Zone, he scored 38 and remained wicketless for 46 runs against South Zone at Puducherry.
