Former India captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni successfully underwent a left knee surgery in a Mumbai hospital on Thursday. Dhoni, who led Chennai Super Kings to their fifth IPL title, had flown to Mumbai from Ahmedabad after the final on Monday and consulted renowned sports orthopaedic surgeon Dr Dinshaw Pardiwala, who is also on the BCCI medical panel and had performed surgeries on a number of top Indian cricketers, including Rishabh Pant.

World Cup in Australia next month, but stress fractures cannot derail the star bowler's sparkling career, assures Dr Dinshaw Pardiwala, who is on the ICC medical advisory committee. "Stress fractures of the back are not career-threatening or career-ending. In most instances, once you rest and rehabilitate, you can return to complete normalcy. Although stress reactions heal quickly, stress fractures take a longer time and the recovery is frustratingly slow, because there's not too much that you can do except for unloading the area and subsequently gradually reintroducing loads once healing is complete. Stress fractures are unlike traumatic fractures and rest is a critical aspect of the treatment in these injuries. Once you do that, it recovers," Pardiwala explained to TOI.

Ravindra Jadeja will miss the T20 World Cup in Australia this year due to a “freak” injury – one borne out of an adventure activity – that has turned out to be so frustrating and embarrassing for Team India right now that it almost warrants an investigation. At the team hotel in Dubai, where the Indian team was based out of while participating in the Asia Cup T20 tournament, Jadeja was asked to undergo some water-based training activity in the ‘backwater’ facility of the premises. “He had to balance himself on some kind of a ski-board as part of an adventure activity – not part of the training manual at all.

Lakshya Sen's next stop on his blossoming career's unprecedented run would have been the Swiss city of Basel. But instead, the team that takes care of Lakhshya advised him to book a flight back home to Bengaluru. The call was a unanimous one, and so were the reasons behind it -- "recover" from a gruelling run and "remain injury-free". After a refreshing break since returning as the 2022 All England silver medallist, Lakshya and his racquet were back smashing the shuttle over the net at the Prakash Padukone Badminton Academy.

Bajrang Punia alleged that he has been forced to do his own rehabilitation from knee injuries owing to the non-availability of a full-time physio, the Wrestling Federation of India (WFI) hit back at the Tokyo Olympics bronze medallist by claiming that the star wrestler denied availing the services of two qualified physios when they visited him recently at the SAI Sonepat centre during the national camp. The WFI informed that Bajrang had sent many proposals to the Sports Authority of India (SAI) and Target Olympic Podium Scheme (TOPS) division through the federation for sanctioning his personal coach and physiotherapist for training abroad and in India and the same was sanctioned at a cost of around Rs 20 lakh by the authorities from December 2020 to August 2021. “During the pre-Olympic training, Bajrang Punia with his personal physiotherapist, coach and sparring partner were sanctioned training-cum-competition exposure in Russia by TOPS/WFI. In Russia, during the semifinal bout, he sustained injury and was given immediate assistance by his physiotherapist, Manish Chettri, who was travelling with him throughout the pre-Olympics training. Further, the case was then examined by Dr Dinshaw Pardiwala with the help of the Central Athlete Injury Management System (CAIMS) and he recommended rehabilitation sessions for recovery. In this regard, a therapeutic equipment - Game Ready device with accessories was sanctioned by the sports ministry/SAI to Bajrang and facilitated by the Indian Embassy, Russia on priority basis,” the WFI said in a statement.
