Shardul Thakur Undergoes Successful Ankle Surgery Following IPL 2024

Shardul Thakur will soon undergo a rehabilitation program at the NCA.

Indian cricket all-rounder Shardul Thakur, a key player for the Chennai Super Kings (CSK), has undergone successful ankle surgery. This procedure will require him to undergo an extended period of rehabilitation and recovery.

Shardul Thakur’s return to CSK this IPL season was highly anticipated, especially with the chance to reunite with his idol MS Dhoni. However, the season didn’t go as planned. Thakur struggled with form, managing only 5 wickets in 9 games with a high economy rate.

Adding to his woes, an ankle niggle developed throughout the season, ultimately becoming a serious injury that ended his IPL campaign. The all-rounder took to social media to confirm the successful surgery.
