After freak neck injury, Sai Kishore ready for long season

'How can he not start every match? What more does he have to do?' The debate continued as the Tamil Nadu allrounder was in and out of the playing XI that featured Rashid Khan and Noor Ahmad. Sai Kishore, at the time, was not worried one bit. He was content and enjoying what he does best on the field. But, little did he know what was to come.

On one of the days that followed, Sai Kishore went to play golf, hit 20 odd balls, had his share of fun and returned. But the next day he woke up, the 27year-old had a stiff neck. The pain only got worse through the day and he had to leave the tournament midway. "It was a freak injury," recalls Sai Kishore in a conversation with this daily. "I have been playing golf for five years, suddenly this happened.

That day I did not expect (it at all). I hit very few balls, maybe 20 or so. That PBKS game where I got four wickets, after that immediately next game it happened (he would play only two more games after the PBKS match). I was even not able to function normally for at least two-three weeks."
