Devdutt Padikkal out of motion for 3 to 4 weeks as a consequence of thumb fracture

Indian opener Devdutt Padikkal on Thursday confirmed he shall be out of motion for 3 to 4 weeks owing to a fracture he sustained in his thumb.

Padikkal, who performed two T20Is for India in 2021, suffered the damage in the course of the Deodhar Trophy earlier this month.

The damage has saved Padikkal away from the continued Maharaja KSCA T20 trophy right here, for which he was picked by Gulbarga Mystics.

“I had a left-thumb fracture during the Deodhar Trophy. So, I had to undergo a minor surgery to get that fixed. I will be out of the game for probably another three to four weeks. Hopefully, I can be back on the field soon,” Padikkal informed Fancode.

The left-handed batter has undergone surgical procedure on his thumb, about which he wrote on social media.

“Just a quick update. Sustained a fracture on my left thumb and had to undergo a surgery. The road to recovery begins now, and I can’t wait to get back out on the field soon,” he mentioned.
