Ajinkya Rahane who had sustained a hamstring injury in Kolkata Knight Riders' 2nd last league stage game has provided a major update on his return date. While informing that his rehabilitation is going well, Rahane who is currently recovering at the National Cricket Association, Bengaluru said that his current focus is getting back on the field.
The Test veteran further said that it is expected that he will be fit in around 6-8 weeks. But, currently he said, he is taking one day at a time, one week at a time. Rahane who played in 7 matches for the Knight Riders could collect only 133 runs for the Shreyas Iyer-led team. However, he feels that he had a good IPL outing this season.
Rahane's injury comes at a time when he is already struggling to maintain his place in the Indian Test team. Due to his back-to-back poor performances, the 33-year-old was dropped from the Indian Test squad against Sri Lanka, earlier this year.
