In a significant development, Chennai Super Kings have dealt a heavy blow as their star bowler Tushar Deshpande has undergone a successful ankle injury in London. The right-arm seamer took to Instagram to share an update on his surgery.
“This post comes as an update about my ankle surgery which was done yesterday and went very well. It is a great relief as I was dealing with it for quite a long time. I am very grateful to my family, friends and all my fans for the well wishes, love and trust they have shown towards me. Here on, I start my journey to recover better than before and comeback stronger💪🏼|| जय बजरंग बली ||” added Deshpande.
Tushar Deshpande's Brilliant Form In IPL And Domestic Circuit
Deshpande claimed 15 wickets in five matches as Mumbai clinched their record-extending 43rd title win in the Ranji Trophy during the 2023-24 season. Meanwhile, the defending champions will take on Baroda in an away game at Vadodara as the split-format Ranji Trophy 2024-25 begins on October 11.

It is a big blow for Chennai Super Kings as Deshpande has emerged as one of their best bowlers in the past few years. Notably, in IPL 2023, Deshpande was CSK's leading wicket-taker with 21 wickets in 16 matches. Deshpande's scintillating performance has also earned him his maiden India call-up against Zimbabwe in the 2024 away tour, where he took two wickets.
It was also his last action on the cricket field as he even missed the Duleep Trophy and will miss the upcoming Ranji Trophy as well. It is to be seen whether he will return for IPL 2025 or not. The inputs are taken from PTI.
