NEW DELHI: Devdutt Padikkal, Indian opener, revealed on Thursday that he will be absent for three to four weeks due to a thumb injury.
Padikkal, who played two T20Is for India in 2021, was injured earlier this month during the Deodhar Trophy.
Padikkal has been ruled out of the Maharaja KSCA T20 Trophy, for which he was selected by Gulbarga Mystics.
"I had a left-thumb fracture during the Deodhar Trophy. So, I had to undergo a minor surgery to get that fixed. I will be out of the game for probably another three to four weeks. Hopefully, I can be back on the field soon," Padikkal told Fancode.
The left-handed batter had thumb surgery and posted about it on social media.
"Just a quick update. Sustained a fracture on my left thumb and had to undergo a surgery. The road to recovery begins now, and I can't wait to get back out on the field soon," he said.
