The 32-year-old shared a post-surgery photo on hi꧟s instagram page captioned: "Operated successf🦋ully".
It happens to be his second foot surgery afte🔴r he had undergone the same five years back in 2019.
The injury recurred during the South Africa tour earlier this year. Although he managed to make a bold return in the Ranji Trophy last season, helping Mumbai win its 42nd title, he had requested the BCCI for longer breaks between matches to ensure adequate recovery and prep🧜aration time for the players.
In the Indian Premier League this season, playing for Chennai Super Kings, he managed only five wickets in nine outings at an economy of 9.7൲5.
Since Thakur is a Grade C𝓡 annual contract holder of the BCCI, the expenses for his treatment were paid by🦄 the board.
As far as his comeback is concerned, while there is no official word, sources in the know of things feels that it will take around three months to getඣ back to training.
Therefore, chaℱnces are he could beꦺ back before or right on time for the upcoming domestic season.
