‘It was a very tough time and I had given up hope of playing cricket at one point’, Mohsin Khan

Lucknow Super Giants fast bowler Mohsin Khan dedicated his match-winning performance against Mumbai Indians to his father, who was in hospital until a day before the game on Tuesday.

Mohsin said after successfully defending 11 in the final over of the chase –

“Sadly, my father was in the hospital, in the ICU, he just got discharged yesterday so I was playing the match for him. He was probably watching the game on TV. So I was playing for him. He was in the ICU for the last ten days. He must be very happy.”

While speaking to the broadcaster at the end of the game, Mohsin also reflected on his tough 12 months.

Mohsin said at the press conference after the match – “It was a very tough time and I had given up hope of playing cricket at one point because I was not able to even lift my hand, forget bowling.”

Mohsin added –

“I was not able to straighten [my hand], my physio worked alongside me. It was medical related, it was quite scary, as the doctor had said if I was late by another month they would have had to amputate my hand.”

“Regarding my injury, I would first like to say that no cricketer should suffer this kind of condition. It was quite strange, my artery was blocked, my nerve was blocked.”
