NEW DELHI: Young India pacer Harshit Rana, who was ruled out of the T20 World Cup just before the start of the tournament due to a knee injury, has provided a positive update that will bring smiles to his fans.
Taking to social media, Rana shared that he has undergone successful surgery and is now looking forward to the recovery process and getting back to the thing he loves most - cricket.
"Surgery done right, now focused on recovery and getting back to what I love," Rana captioned an image from his hospital bed on Instagram.

Rana had sustained the injury in a warm-up game with Mohammed Siraj being named as his replacement, who rose to the occasion in India's opening match against USA, taking three wickets for 29 runs.
Rana could bowl only one over in the warm-up game against South Africa in which he conceded 16 runs and then hobbled off the field with a knee injury.
Although Rana is not a first eleven certainty with an economy rate of 10.60 in nine T20Is, he certainly would have been a handy inclusion in specific conditions. He is also a useful lower-order hitter.
