Rana sustained the injury during a warm-up match against South Africa at the DY Patil Stadium and was officially ruled out on the eve of India’s opening fixture against the USA. Medical assessments later confirmed damage to the lateral meniscus, requiring surgical intervention.
According to sources, the surgery was performed by renowned orthopedic surgeon Dr. Dinshaw Pardiwalla at the Kokilaben Dhirubhai Ambani Hospital in Mumbai. Following the procedure, Rana has been advised a period of rest before beginning a structured rehabilitation program.
