KL Rahul underwent sports hernia surgery in February 2023. This surgery is common among athletes, particularly in sports that involve repetitive twisting and turning movements.
Sports hernia is a condition that affects the muscles and tendons in the lower abdomen and groin area. It's not a true hernia, but rather a strain or tear in the muscles and tendons that support the groin.
This surgery aims to repair the damaged tissues and reduce pain, allowing athletes to return to their sport with a better chance of preventing future injuries.
KL Rahul has since recovered from the surgery and has returned to playing cricket.
