But it will take several months for me to be 100 percent fit. The 34-year-old further added that he is hopeful that he will be able to play his part in the IPL for RCB. He said that, I hope that my foot will be fine during the entire tournament and I will be able to play my role. He has definitely talked about staying fit, but his statement must have increased the concern of RCB somewhere. Because he has been out since the first ODI and how comfortable he finds himself in training will be known only on the day of the match. RCB has to play its first match against Mumbai Indians on 2 April.
