The Second Knee Injury Was A Tough Call To Make - Suresh Raina

Injuries have always a part of one sportsperson’s career. In fact, it is all but impossible to have an injury-less career. These setbacks always blight the career but they also teach them to get back on their feet. India’s batsman Suresh Raina recently went under the knife and had to undergo a second knee injury. Raina stated that the second knee injury was a tough call to make. The southpaw had undergone the first knee injury in 2007 when the issue began in the first place.

Consequently, Raina will need four to six weeks in his rehab process and he would thus go on to miss the initial phase of the domestic circuit. Raina last played in Indian colors in 2018 against England at Headingley. However, the southpaw batsman could not grab his opportunities and thus he was dropped from the side.

Raina gives gratitude to his trainers and doctors.

Raina stated it was a tough call to make as he knew that the surgery will put him off action for some time.

“To be honest, a second knee surgery was a tough call to make because I knew it would put me off-action for a few months and I wasn’t ready for it until a few weeks ago when the pain had gotten a bit much and I knew there was only one way out of this,” Rain wrote in a post on his social media handle.

“I hope I’m up on my feet, on the field and ready to give my best very soon again,” he added.
